Hi, just looking for some advice on gaining weight. I’m 39 male, and have chronic Crohns. Had six resections removing a lot of my small and large bowel over the last 16 years. Had an ileostomy bag for 18 months years ago now fully reversed.
I’m not on a pity party like so many of the posts/threads I read about Crohns and Colitis. I find that’s a useless endeavour and something that irritates the life out of me. Life sucks with Crohns, we all know. Just my opinion anyway, sorry if that upsets anyone, just how I feel about it.
I can eat pretty much anything, but don’t seem to be able to put on weight. I forced myself into a heavy exercise regime to get fitter years ago. Managed to get much fitter and gain some muscle, but my body fat went down to 2% so it wasn’t really a good option for me.
Can anyone provide any advice? I’m really fed up with being thin! I just want a mild build again around my chest, arms and shoulders.
