  Or conclude that they were accumulating mass some other way, such as

  • Accumulating water
  • Being severely constipated
  • Some obscure bone disease that causes them to accumulate absurd amounts of minerals

  My bet would be on (1) and/or (2).

    Accumulating water

    Is there a condition that accumulates water like that where weight goes up consistently over a long period of time?

      Supplementing creatine does this.
