Hi Carly
I had this issue a while back and it lasted for ages, just couldn't put on weight. Have you had your sugars tested? Once I started insulin, put on 20 pounds in 2 weeks and now its steadily climbing.
Also check your dosage of losec/ proton pump inhibitor, this sometimes needs to be adjusted.

5000 calories ---- from whole foods ---- at least your weight grams of protein a day --- no scandishakes they're junk ---- 835 calories per meal ---- 6 meals a day<br>I can tell you one of your main problem is you are eating too much at once... you need to eat less more often... no soda -- more complex carbs<br>scandi shakes are junk they have no substance next to no protein at all<br>
<br>you will gain
<br>you will gain

With insulin, I was told that it wasn't necesarry for years, but it got to a point with my health that I went looking for a second opinion, there I was told its one of the most important controls and was put on immediately. It's made a big difference to my health as well. It's just a once daily shot of Lantus to give me a basal level of insulin, so really easy game.
With the last paragraph, are you on creon? Because creon works optimally in an alkaline environment, one would take losec or something similar(Stops stomach acid production) to help the enzymes work more efficiently at digesting food. Sometimes the brand or dosage needs to be played around with if you aren't gaining weight. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Scandishakes never helped me either! I think their junk too, its empty sugar! You need real meal to gain weight. I have problems gaining weight too. My humble advice:
1 Take more enzymes. Just one more than usual!
2 Take more enzymes with scandishake! I take 2 with meals but 3 just for scandishake.
3 Check your bloodsugar
4 Check PA. When my PA thrives i dont!
Good Luck darling!
