Hello!

I'm Gav. I've lost a lot of weight due to a thing called crohns disease (which isn't that uncommon)

I'm mostly looking for advice for gaining weight (healthily) with a low residue diet.

So far it's easier said than done!

All comments, advice and messages welcome, even if it's just to say hi! :)

    Hello, I am very familiar with IBD. Our daughter has Ulcerative Colitis and our nephew has Crohn's. Have you ever heard of or tried the SCD diet? Our nephew cut out a lot of "inflammatory foods" and he is in remission now. Here's a link to an awesome website that some very knowledgable guys talking about healing from IBD using this diet. http://scdlifestyle.com/about-the-scd-diet/
    Hope I've helped you in some way.
