Hello Carenity members,
Crohn's in itself can attribute to a weight loss as a result of the condition inflicting a decreased appetite, nausea, and diarrhea.
However, unfortunately, many treatments (such as steroids) for Crohn's disease may cause weight gain. Other factors attributing to weight gain may include stress, lack of physical activity and diet.
Have you gained weight since you were diagnosed?
What do you attribute the weight gain to... medication, stress, diet, a combination, or something else?
What do you do to avoid weight gain? Any recommendations?
