    What drinks/shakes have you tried for weight gain/maintaining weight?

    For me, the taste is a big deal too, so I totally get what you mean about Boost tasting awful. I’ve also tried Ensure, and I agree it’s way better than some of the others, but yeah, it can be pretty pricey. As for powders, I’ve used the Vega Protein powder before and mixed it with smoothies...

    Crohn's, Pyoderma, and HS all at once. What I know and what I have tried.

    I haven't had the same exact experience, but I understand how frustrating it can be when things don't heal the way they should. It’s good to hear you're making progress now. I hope connecting with others who’ve gone through something similar helps.

    Tests Come Back Normal, but Still Diagnosed with Crohn's. Is this normal?

    I can fully appreciate your feelings and empathise with you – it cannot be easy to stand by and watch your wife suffer this without getting some answers. It seems like her symptoms are very similar to Crohn’s, even though the exams do not reveal inflammation, and that is most certainly a...
