Please help me figure out what to do... thanks!?

Question

Every day my husband complains that he is tired, even if he is getting 8-10 hours of sleep. After work he usually lays around in bed for a few hours each day too. He is underweight and has trouble eating 3 meals a day. Usually, he can only eat lunch and dinner, but even then, I eat more than him at a meal. If he eats too much he immediately is on the toilet with diarhhea for a bit. I am very worried about him. His mother works at his doctor's office and she is convinced there is nothing wrong. I think he needs to switch doctors and get thoroughly evaluated (had some bloodwork done, but only like 2 things were abnormal and she told us it was nothing to worry about). Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

I think something is very wrong. If he is not eating enough then he is eventually going to get very sick. Take him to a nutritionist and a doctor. Since you said he always feels tired this could be signs of a number of conditions: Anemia, stress disorder, depression, ect. If this problem escalates get even more involved. Do not let this get away, there could be something seriously wrong.

Answer 2

Should deff. get a second opinion on that.  I would think that hes not getting the nutrition that he needs.  This will lead to all the symptoms that you mentioned.  If your body is used to having very little nutriton and you start giving it what it needs, it over reacts and causes the diarhhea.  The tiredness would be directly related to the lack of nutriton me thinks.
