hi everyone! First let me tell you that I joined this because I have been desperately looking for ways to be able to eat, keep it down & gain weight. I am only 4'10"" & I weigh 95 lbs right now. That may not seem bad but it is when you consider I have lost 59lb in less tan a year. I had gotten down to 88 lb in 2010 & I looked like a haggard, old boney lady & I hated myself! I finally went into remission for awhile (I guess!) & managed to gain to 145 lb. I felt terrific, looked like a sweet little old "Mimi" should look & everyone said I looked so healthy! This was all before I as diagnosed. Then the D started back with a vengeance this year. I went into the hospital in 2013 for severe stomach cramps, ended up with double pneumonia & spinal meningitis. I was extremely sick & on death's door according to the Drs.--they didn't think I would make it. Anyway, all during this time I was still dealing with the D in a big way. Do any of you know how painful it is when they use a wipe on your sensitive little butt & your allergic to it??!!! Ouch! I had huge blisters all over my private parts, on my belly. I cried every time they had to clean me up because the pain was so bad. They sent me home still undiagnosed about the D , which I still had. So okay, since that time I have continually been in a flare. It is so bad I can't hardly eat anything without ne throwing up or having D. I have a very good GI DR but he broke his hip & won't be back till Nov. I can't go on this way so tomorrow I'm calling his PA To see what we can do. All of your posts I have read has helped encourage me & I will try the foods talked about to see if it helps. Thanks for listening!
