Rapid Weight Gain & Bloating: Causes & Concerns - Ask a Doctor


Question
Dr. I am experiencing rapid weight gain, 3-6-lbs per day, with extended hard stomach.  I am diabetic, have high bood pressure, have had a stent in my heart.  The bloating is better in the mornings, but as soon as I eat, like toast and coffee, it comes back.  I weighed 205 last month, today I weigh 215.  I have not changed my eating pattern, but have dropped the colas,( diet), and anything sweet.  I have been diabetic for 5 years with no significant weight gain.  My doctor has just added glimeride, I thought this might be the culpert.

Answer
this type of weight gain is not fat.... you can't eat 10000 calories a day.  This is water weight because there is a problem with your meds, or a new development with your heart or kidneys.  Glimeride can lead to weight gain but not this much so you need to see your doc today or tomorrow.
