My Aunt had stomach cancer 2 years ago. she has just a small portion of her stomach left. she says she feels good and eats alot, but is unable to gain weight. the ensures and such go right thru her. Is there anything that she can do to gain weight?

Well,

Gastric cancer is very problematic because it will affect the digestive system and the there will be noticeable weight problems. As your aunt has already experienced  the weight problem, she has to consider finding a proper diet that will ensure her the right amount of body weight. I am not sure what would be the best diet option for her, but I think that she needs to take more proteins and carbohydrates. She should talk to her doctor to refer her to nutritionist that might be able to help her with her problem. Can you tell something about her regular diet? I hope that this helped in any way.

 

All the best,

Nelie
