Hypothyroidism or gut bacteria imbalance.

That is what came up in my searches.

If it’s not from eating then he is violating a law of physics. What is he drinking?

Kidneys or liver malfunction would be my first guess but it is just a guess.

All medication should be checked because sometimes that is it.

Definitely sounds like a thyroid problem. Good luck, I hope they can find a reason for it and fix the problem…

Did he use Propecia or Proscar? Both contain finasteride which causes rare reactions in small number of users.

Find out what medicines/supplements he is on. Thyroid is the first thing they should have checked. Insulin causes weight gain. keep us informed.

like Baylor or Vanderbilt.

I would think UT Southwestern instead of Baylor. Houston might be a better choice. I can't think of any reason to go further afield.

Have a pharmacist check any meds he might be taking. My doctor put me on simvestaten for cholesterol. I gained a lot of weight. Since taking myself off the staten I have been steadily losing weight, 40 pounds and counting.

I say talk to a pharmacist because they know more than most doctors about the drugs that are prescribed and the interactions between drugs.

Wishing the best for your cousin.

“Doctors keep telling him he’s overeating, but that is not happening, not enough to have that kind of weight gain.

He is overeating and not active.

One cannot gain weight if they eat fewer calories than they expend. It’s impossible. People expend at different rates, and sometimes that rate changes.

One must adjust their input to match their output.

“and they haven’t found a doctor who knows either”

The doctors know and they told him.
