I was diagnosed with chrohns disease 5months ago. I lost 65 lbs, any suggestions on how to gain my weight back

Answer 1

People with Crohn’s disease often experience a decrease in appetite, which can affect their ability to receive the daily nutrition needed for good health and healing. In addition, Crohn’s disease is associated with diarrhea and poor absorption of necessary nutrients. No special diet has been proven effective for preventing or treating Crohn’s disease, but it is very important that people who have Crohn’s disease follow a nutritious diet and avoid any foods that seem to worsen symptoms. There are no consistent dietary rules to follow that will improve a person’s symptoms.

People should take vitamin supplements only on their doctor’s advice.

Foods you might need to avoid
Some people with Crohn's find that eating certain foods makes their symptoms worse. With the help of your gastroenterologist or nutritionist, you can determine what foods you can eat comfortably and find a healthy diet you will enjoy.

Fatty foods such as butter, margarine, gravies, vegetable oil, processed snacks (like cookies and crackers), meats, fast food, some dairy products, and fried or battered food may trigger abdominal symptoms. If you develop gas and diarrhea after you eat fatty or greasy foods, you may be suffering from malabsorption, a condition in which fat is not easily absorbed and passes quickly through the intestine. Avoiding fatty foods and using easily absorbed fat can help.
High-fiber foods can also cause abdominal discomfort. They increase diarrhea because they are not fully digested, and when these foods enter the intestine, they trigger contractions. Limiting fiber during a flare-up can keep symptoms in check. However, there is no concrete evidence that a long-term, low-fiber diet can permanently decrease the symptoms of Crohn's.
Alcohol and caffeine stimulate the intestines and can intensify diarrhea. Try to avoid them when your symptoms act up.
