It happened some time around November I think.

My stomach would feel sick so I didn't want to eat anything. Sometimes it would get bloated when I did eat.

I usually feel very thirsty a lot so whatever I drink fills up my stomach.

I get diarrhea often.

Sometimes I feel sharp pains in my stomach that show up randomly.

When I do feel hungry, it often feels like I feel queasy as well. That makes me not want to eat anything.

I'm 5ft 10in. down to 110 lbs now. I used to weigh 120.

My parents say it's normal, it's a part of my genes. The doctor says that I need to eat smaller snacks instead of big meals.

It's not working.

I only gain a couple of pounds before going back to 110 lbs.

Sometimes I lose some below 110 lbs.

Why is my body doing this to me?

Everyone says I'm fine and that there's nothing wrong with me.

Hi BubonicPlague

I am sorry to hear that this is causing you concern and that no known reason for this outcome.

I would say probably the best advice is to continue on with what your doctor has said, medical advice is usually best.

Also, there's nothing wrong with getting a second opinion, doesn't hurt to try.

Drinking lots of water to fill me up usually doesn't leave much of an appetite for me. I occassionally suffer from bloating but I've managed to trace back what types of food I consume that cause this.

Maybe members who experience the same physiological effects as you do can come forward and offer their personal opinion on this.

Be well.

Do you have a very high basal metabolism ? If so, that means that whatever you eat goes right through you. It sounds like it. Basically, your body is extremely good at using food to produce usable energy. So, it doesn't store anything, like it does in most people. It could be caused by hyperthyroidism. From Wikipedia,

"If there is too much thyroid hormone, every function of the body tends to speed up. Therefore, some of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism may be nervousness, irritability, increased perspiration, heart racing, hand tremors, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, thinning of the skin, fine brittle hair, and muscular weakness—especially in the upper arms and thighs. More frequent bowel movements may occur, but diarrhea is uncommon. Weight loss, sometimes significant, may occur despite a good appetite (though 10% of people with a hyperactive thyroid experience weight gain[7]), vomiting may occur, and, for women, menstrual flow may lighten and menstrual periods may occur less often.[6]"

I would consult a nutritionist, instead of trying extreme things on your own. This definitely sounds like a condition in your body and not something you're doing "wrong". You're likely gonna have to do some tests to determine the exact condition.

Without knowing anything about what you are eating and drinking, about how much, and about how frequently it is next to impossible to say.
