Have you tried Pepcid for the gastric reflux? It's over-the-counter now, and most drugstores offer their own generic version of it, which is much cheaper. People with gastric reflux disorder generally take Pepcid (or its generic) once in the morning and once at night. It might let you eat some of the higher fat-content foods without the reflux problem. Good luck!

At least you aren't buying into the medias image of the skinner you are the more beautiful you are! I'm glad your more concerned with being healthy. I would say ask your doctor... I know they have these really high calorie bars or something along those lines to help.

If I didn't know better, I'd say you were a fortunate individual. But my most helpful answer would have to include advising you to see your doctor. When I was young, I was thin as a rail and ate like a horse. I am 50 now and am sedintary in my lifestyle due to job and not exercising and continuing to enjoy food and wish I could be more fit. With age, your metabolism does dip. I think you're too thin based on what you say you weigh and your height. Please see your doctor.

Have you tried any weight gaining supplements? I haven't used them personally but I knew someone who used them while recovering from leukemia with decent results.

You are not dangerously underweight. My lady is 32 years old, 5'4", 96 lbs and has been stable at that weight since she was 18. As long as there are no vitamin deficiencies, etc. and your caloric intake is enough to prevent further weight loss, you may be happier if you learn to accept the body type that nature has given you. +5
