I have crohn's disease with chronic diarrhea, last year i weighed 98 lbs. now I weigh 148 lbs. I go to the bathroom atleast 30 times a day. I hardly eat because when I do I cramp and go straight to bathroom. so i don't understand how i weigh this much. I have never weighed this much in my life not even when I was pregnant. I have always been petite and weighed about 112. Has anyone else had this extreme weight loss then extreme weight gain. I could understand if i ate alot but i don't i usually dont eat anything all day because of going to bathroom, but I can even drink something and go to bathroom. I eat dinner at night after a few bites, I start cramping and goes straight thru me so how do i have all this weight on me!! somebody please help me!!!!!!

Crohns effects how the small intestine absorbs food so that can cause some big changes in weight depending on how you are doing.Some of the drugs tend to make people gain weight so that can play a role in the up and down weight thing.You may want to post over in the Inflammatory Bowel Forum as people with Crohns and colitis have issues IBSers usually don't have.http://www.ibsgroup.org/forums/index.php?showforum=24 is the link.
