Default Re: Losing too much weight and getting emaciated

Regardless, if you continue to lose weight to such a degree that you are looking gaunt, sallow and having orthostaic blood pressure (ie blood pressure that drops when you stand) then you have an issue you need to have evaluated by a doctor and not moderated by the board, or you tweaking your diet. Also if there was ever question of celiac disease you need more evaluation than just those two blood tests.
