Gaining weight instead of losing?

My name is brittney. I'm 22 and have had ulcerative colitus for about a year. On imuran once a day and pentasa 4 times a day(neither of which are working).

I know most people tend to malnurished and lose alot of weight with this disease< due to all the dhiarria and blood loss and such. I actually seem to be gaining weight. not to much, but not losing anything at all even though having the extreme pain and dhiarria.

anyone else experience this? I also have a thyroid issue so I have always had a hard time losing weight so maybe thats it.

thanks!

Add high quality fish oil, a good price/quality LIQUID fish oil is from alimentnutrition or maybe caps from trueprotein.com . Or you can get any other, but take a look at fish source...sardines are the best ones. so about 10-15g a day with meals.

Probiotics can help too together with digestive enzymes and HCL

Try a low carb diet, 100-150g protein, healthy fats (like fish oil, almonds, coconut oil...) and a lot green vegetables (no other carbs then from green vegetables).

3-4 times a week exercise with weigths

I gain weight if I don't look well after my diet and my colitis flares up. I use low carb lifestyle to control weight and colitis. www.carbohydrateaddicts.com
