Losing weight without trying might sound like a good thing, but if it’s unintentional and persistent, it could be a sign of an underlying digestive condition. GI issues like Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, ulcers, or even certain cancers can cause your body to stop absorbing nutrients the way it should.

If you’ve noticed changes in your weight or appetite without changes in diet or activity, it’s time to check in with a GI specialist. https://bit.ly/44dZrbY

Unexplained weight loss or gain is when a notable drop or increase in weight happens when not trying, and can be a symptom of an underlying illness.
