I have high metabolim, and want to gain weight. I admit that I do a lot of sports, so that also contributes, but is there a certain food I can eat to gain weight and/or slow metabolism? I’ve heard everything from grahm crackers and milk before bed to bananas…so help me out here.

Additional info: This condition has affected me most my life, but has gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. It started when I was around 7 and I am now 24 years old. Almost any uncooked fruit or vegetable gives me heartburn. This includes both highly acidic and highly basic fruits and vegetables (everything from oranges to bananas). The heartburn is incredibly debilitating. Often times, I find myself feeling extremely nauseous and produce immense amounts of very thin saliva.
Most the time, if it is cooked or preserved or frozen, the food does not cause me heartburn.
Also, foods which normally give people heartburn (caffeine, spicy foods, greasy foods, etc.) do not affect me in a negative way.
I am currently taking 600 mg of ranitidine everyday. It helps sometimes, but I can’t really count on it to help all the time.
I really want to get back to eating healthy as I feel the lack of fruits and veggies is taking its toll on my body.
Please help!

I’ve read that sodium and potassium are examples of electrolytes. Recalling my high-school and college chemistry I can see why sodium would be an electrolyte since it helps conduct an electric current, but I never heard that about potassium. So besides eating bananas and salty foods I was wondering what other “natural” sources of food and/or liquid provides the body with what would be considered electrolytes. (Yes, I’m prepping for a long distance event, incase you were wondering. 
PLEASE NOTE, I’m looking for “natural” (vs. man-made) foods and/or liquids.
