Sudden weight gain without a change in diet or exercise is a burden I personally have experienced, when I gained 60 lbs in six months for no apparent reason. In my case it was explained as the onset of an active case of polycystic ovarian disease at the age of 19. I find it interesting that I also have a history of respiratory infections from a very young age. I will be interested to see how this research plays out.
