Got diagnosed with crohns.I've lost all the weight I gained in the gym over 2+ years in the gym. Going back to gym and bulk soon.
Anyone have past experience with this ?

    Yes. I've had Crohn's disease for almost 20 years. Although I never was a gym goer until three years ago.
    Are you remission or still have constant flare ups?

    Look into a "Low FODMAP" diet. It took me quite a bit of trial and error to know what I can and cannot eat.
