Losing weight

[zagi256]

In the past three months I've lost 4 kg, but I have no symptoms, yes sometimes I do feel like some one is poking where my Crohn's (sigma, ileum) is but that stops and rarely comes. And I'm worried becuase before Crohn's when I had no symptoms I was losing weight, I lost 10 kg in a year, but I blamed it on my school ( i was traveling every day, studying a lot, under stress and everything), and I was diagnosed later but in that period i had no other symptoms later came the horrible ones. Im afraid it's happening I had an appointment with my GI two weeks ago and everything is fine. And just to say I had a big problem gaining weight and all of the sudden I gained 20 kg in a year and now I lost 4 kg in 3 months. Yes I havent been eating too much, I have apatite but when I'm in school I don't eat too much. Is that maybe the problem?

I feel like the guts of people with CD just aren't as efficient, even when in remission. You may have nutrient malabsorption. I would ask your doctor, maybe you could get something mild like Pentasa and see if it helps.

thank you for your answer

When you saw your GI you mean they looked inside you to see if you have inflammation?

Be honest with yourself, you hinted that maybe you are not eating enough. If you have a busy schedule you will be burning calories. Those need to be replaced. Have you tried doing calorie counting to see how much you really are eating in a day/week?

Do you have a restricted diet or can you eat nearly everything?

Good luck!

I just had a blood test, but I'm feeling totaly fine except the wait. I can eat everything, ill try to count the calories. And I'll see will I gain any weight because I have a week off

I was the same as you lost a bunch of weight . I thought it was law school work kids as a widow. I graduated and develop ed a bowel obstruction then was recently diagnosed. Have drs suggested Boost or Ensure?

Thank you for your answer. I am currently normal weight but I'm dropping it so thats why I'm worried. I never got Ensure because I drink Modulen every day.
