So... I am currently coming out of a flare.
I have had my Imuran/Azathioprine increased to 125mg
and I have to take 4g of Pentasa
and I am feeling a lot better. No more D!!!
Anyway. I am 5ft 6in = 167cm
I weigh 9 stone now. (57.1kg or 126lbs)
When I was in my flare I went down to 120lbs (8 stone 8)
and since the flare getting better I have been eating normally but sensibly.
(no takeaways, no fatty/greasy foods, nothing that is a trigger)
D has gone away for now, BM about 2 a day.
But I am starting to put weight on without steroids, and I really don't want too.
I have serious self esteem issues and an irrational fear of being overweight.
Since before illness I was very overweight.
So when I see weight coming on I panic. I know I probably sound insane but it's really bothering me.
Any advice on any aspect of it???
