About five years ago, I weighed over 190 lbs. Then, I had a small flare and went to 170 lbs. Three years ago, I had another flare and dropped to 140 lbs. I ended up needing a resection. My weight right now is around 158 lbs. When I was over 190, I was portly. I don't want to get that way right now. I am 5ft. 7. I snack everyday. My wife says that my body isn't absorbing nutrition and that is why sometimes I eat more than my regular meals.

Is your Crohn's in remission now? If not, your wife is probably right. For some people, it can be very difficult to gain weight during a flare. I personally have a very difficult time maintaining my weight, even sometimes when I'm not flaring.

I don't think I am in remission right now. I have my good days and my bad days.
