Need a little help

How long have you been unable to eat? I would definitely check in with the doctor if it's been going on for any length of time.

In the meantime, I'd focus first on just getting your calories up unless your doctor says otherwise. Protein is important, but it's also important to just get enough calories. Here is a good list of calorie dense foods. Hopefully you can stomach some of them! https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10142490/a-list-of-calorie-dense-foods/p1

As a quick solution, I bump calories up on diet by adding olive oil. Could add a few tablespoons to a bowl of chicken, beef, or bone broth.

When we were doing an elimination diet for my daughter's crohns, she was on a bland diet. Adding 2 tbsp of each olive oil, coconut oil, and real butter. I would bump my daughter's white rice to over 700 calories for one bowl.

After a couple of weeks of broth and rice, we started adding very small bites of shredded chicken to it.

I would also add coconut oil and real butter to her oatmeal. Then slowly started adding almond milk to her oatmeal, then drinking full glasses.

I worried about calories first, then macros.

Hope you get better!

Can you eat bland foods like rice and oats?

No to rice and oats, I have tried and they come back up. Broth I can handle.

Thank you guys so much for your help. I have some new things to try.

I'd try adding oils to broth and keep it liquid then. Could try some other higher calorie beverages. Some fruit juices, Kefir, and almond (or other nut) milks can get high calorie, can add cane sugar or honey to try and up calories in beverages, also.

All of these suggestions are of course, if tolerated by your system!
