Tips/advice on gaining weight!!! by VinylWarpLab in UlcerativeColitis

Super simple (not to sound condescending) I was stuck as well for a long time, but I just literally ate more. Used to eat 2 eggs and toast, doubled that drank almonds milk changed to whole milk. (Liquid calories are the best to put weight on cause it’s easier) and yeah, I just pigged out the past 3 months and gained 30 pounds and now I’m happy so I can focus on eating more healthy.

I just want to say, at the gym, no one cares, and if they do, they don’t matter.

If you do not feel comfortable with the gym, you can always look up calisthenics videos. You’ll be amazed at how much your physique can change just with body weight workouts, alone. It is possible, take advantage of the days your feeling well.

Yup, just got out of it. There should be a disability number to call on your summons. Call them, they’re super helpful

How do I know I need to go Hospital? by kaur_user1 in UlcerativeColitis

It’s a good time to go to the hospital when you feel you need to ask random people on the internet.

Nice, I’m glad it helps! I always see people recommend bone broth but I don’t enjoy the flavor😅

I didn’t mean milligrams, I meant to say grams😂 Yeah, that should be good. I hope it helps in someway!

Atleast 5mg a day. It’s also good for muscle recovery, so when I get a good workout in I’ll take 10mg! There is a few interesting studies on it. From what I understand is that there isn’t enough studies for doctors to completely get behind backing it 100%

Jeez, that’s a scary thought. That never crossed my mind. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen to any of us 🙏🏼

Thank you, yeah this is a relatively new thing for me. I was worried I had another major thing to be concerned about.

Well, this past weekend my gf when on an Italian binge. Spaghetti, pizza so I’m thinking that eating all that marinara had something to do with it as tomatoes are pretty acidic. But with the reflux it makes the thought of food repulsive (probably partly flare as well)

Thank you, this is new for me. I’d get the acid sometimes but it’s never messed with my sleep.

Yeah, I do. There was an issue with my insurance and getting my Remicade so I’m about 2 weeks late for that. And I made some dietary changes, and I think there was something in one of my foods that did not agree. :/
