Hi there.
History:
I have had ulcerative colitis for three years. I was admitted to the hospital on the 15th of December. I was discharged two weeks ago as the hospital said they cannot do anything more for my recovery.

The drugs that I am on are 40 mg of prednisone (steroid), 3 Imuran pills per day (auto-immune suppressant), and I will be taking my third infusion of Remicade in two weeks (Remicade is a new ‘wonder drug’ that is supposed to do wonders after the third infusion). Drugs haven’t done much yet

My problem is this: I cannot eat anything! Mostly whatever I eat (especially grains, starch, sugars–all normal, prepared foods) makes my bowel movements worse, and I lose a lot of weight. I am on a diet called the Maker’s Diet (just starting Phase 2), but even on this there are many things I cannot have to eat.
Does ANYONE out there have ideas of good foods/recipes that I can have which will be good to my system, but will help me to gain weight?
Thanks if you have any ideas
