When pounds start dropping without any deliberate effort, it’s cause for concern. Unintentional weight loss could be a sign of a severe medical condition, including LGIB.
Sometimes, our bodies react to internal problems. Weight loss can be such a reaction. When the body senses something off, like internal bleeding, it might consume more energy, leading to weight loss.
While shedding a few pounds might thrill some, it’s the reason behind it that matters. Other symptoms, like reduced appetite or feeling full quickly, might accompany this weight loss.
Conditions like stomach ulcers or inflammatory bowel disease can lead to LGIB. This bleeding might then result in reduced nutrient absorption, thus causing weight loss. (5)
