I was quite emaciated too, and thought I was eating well.  What worked for me was the eating habits outlined in "The Schwarzbein Principle" by Diana Schwarzbein, M.D. and Nancy Deville (ISBN 1-55874-680-3).  It's wonderful to see the flesh and muscle grow!  Best wishes.

About the yellow teeth bit - did you receive treatment as a child with tetracycline antibiotics ?

These agents are no longer prescribed for young people as the drug is incorporated into developing adult teeth, discolouring them yellow. Perhaps this is the reason and hence no amount of cleaning will alter their colour.
