My DD 16 is increasingly putting on weight. No matter how much she exercises, (sometimes 5/6 times a week) and has cut down portions, snacks, carbs, etc. We've even cut high sugar fruit and eating more vegetables. We are trying to be sensible but I know it's getting her down as buying clothes isn't fun for her and as she's working hard and getting bigger is miserable.
We've had her thyroid checked, her stomach checked for candida and all sorts of allergies tested. Sometimes her stomach looks so huge and bloated and also her face and neck can look big and puffy. Then other days not so much. She takes probiotics and vitamins
Since school started this term she's almost bursting out of her school uniform and I think I'm going to have to buy a bigger size. She says she's not snacking as she's now tearful and I'm at a loss as to what to do or think - but there's defiantly something going on with her and we can't get to the bottom if it.
