Question vitamin E = fat husband?

so the doctor put DH on natural vitamin E this last month. he has only been taking a 200 I.U dose daily, but last week he gained about 7 kilo!!! that is 15 pounds in one week. he has been a very slim active guy his whole life and this has never happened before. He is also on Clomid, but i don't think its because of that. he said his insides (digestive stuff) feel really healthy now, but he always feels hungry. i try not to giggle at his tummy, but the change was so rapid its like he swapped bodies with another man. ahhh!

does anyone know anything about this?

My DH was taking vitamin E 2Xtimes a day an never gain weight like that. It could be due to the clomid he is taking. Clomid has certain side effects one is weight gain but remember Clomid effects everyone different.

My husband was on clomid and he swelled up like you would not believe. It went away after he got off of it though.

thanks for the help. He is still getting plumper by the day. we were at the doctor's office thursday and yes its from the clomid. we are so far enjoying it like some kind of joke, but i do hope most of it goes away once he stops taking it.
