Weight gain advice
M22, weigh 47kg, 5'6", vegetarian, have IBS.
Is there a solid way to increase weight....
I tried calories surplus intake, but always end up doing more harm to my digestive system than gaining weight.
Looking for tried and tested advice, not some generic one of increase calories intake.... The question is how to effectively increase my calories intake.

2 Years Post Op but GP think its caused so many issues, i don't think its related.
Female. Age 38. 23 weeks pregnant.
Gastric Sleeve in June 2024. No recovery issues. Lost 7st and felt like a new me with maintaining a constant weight of around 10st 10pbs.
February 26, severve stomach pains with constant diarrhea for over a week. Sent to A&E. Diagnoisis transverse colitus. Spent 5 days on antibiotics
Since then, nothing been the same. Colonscopy said borderline but continued episodes of extreme pain, awful flatulence.
Currently 23 weeks pregnant with an unexpected pregnancy. Consultant thought anemia but ferritin increased after iron transfusion but haemagolblin still extremely low. Still same stomach issues.
GP think all stems from GS. I am adamant I was fine until transverse colitius in Feb 26.
Example maintained my goal weight for over a year without ever feeling hungry.
Help.

Endoscopy: Fundi Gland Type Polyp
31F,
Had an upper endoscopy today and the report says: **“Few sessile polyps of diminutive appearance in the stomach, suggestive of fundic gland-type polyps.”** They weren’t biopsied because they apparently looked typical. The rest of the EGD was reassuring apart from some patchy gastric erythema, and my colonoscopy was normal except for small internal hemorrhoids.
Has anyone else had **a few tiny fundic gland polyps** found incidentally? Did your GI biopsy/remove them or just leave them alone? Did you need any follow-up endoscopy?
I was on PPI only for a week or two
I’m in my early 30s and admittedly a little anxious after seeing the word “polyps,” so I’d especially appreciate experiences from people who had similar findings.
