Despite eating healthy and exercising regularly, I've been gaining weight without any clear reason. My gym trainer jokingly asked if I have any hidden guests, hinting at parasites. Can parasites actually contribute to weight gain?

Usually, parasites cause weight loss, but sometimes the bloating and fluid retention can make you feel like you've gained weight. Just like managing my BP, keeping track of your lifestyle and getting regular medical checkups is the best way to understand what your body is going through.

It's highly unlikely! Parasites usually steal your nutrients and cause weight loss or bloating instead. If you're experiencing unexpected weight gain, it might be due to stress or hormonal changes. Do consult a doctor to get a clear picture!

Please don't ignore sudden weight changes or severe bloating. I once delayed getting a checkup for persistent abdominal swelling, and it turned out to be a much more complicated gut issue. It is always safest to consult a doctor immediately for a proper diagnosis.
