hi hhh, I am a female crohn's pt!. dxed at the age of 12!. I have had several surgeries for the past 29 yrs!. I've had it and have found that it was easier for me to gain the weight seeing as I couldn't eat much before due to the severe pain I was in!. Once I had the surgery at age 17, I was able to enjoy my mom's home made meals again!. After I got married, I needed surgery due to a stricture in my small intestines so I couldn't eat much or I'd have a partial blockage!. Thus, I lost weight until that problem was fixed!. Then I regained it once I started to eat hubby's cooking!. (He is a great cook and knows what to make for me when I flare),
