What do you eat to get fatter (compatible with uc)

I will give you a list of MUFA's, monounsaturated fatty acid foods. Are they safe for UC???? You will have to decide that for yourself:
soybeans, semisweet choc chips, nut butters (almond, cashew, peanut, etc), pumpkin seeds, oils (canola, olive), nuts (a lot on the list, I would say all nuts), avocado, olives, pesto sauce.
This is from Prevention editors "Flat Belly Diet".

I had great success with gaining some weight back by baking. I made lots of muffins (white crappy flour agrees with me). I made everything myself so I knew for sure whats in it (no dairy, preservatives etc). I made zuccini bread, banana muffins etc. I was joking that I was never without a muffin in each hand. I also eat a lot of potatoes and white rice along with well cooked veg and plain grilled or broiled meats. I also made almond milk/banana smoothies. I'm slowly gaining the weight back, but it certainly isn't coming back on the same speed as it fell off!

I'll donate some! Not lost a pound due to this disease, and actually have so much trouble losing weight that I've had to have my thyroid checked out.

Coconut oil is supposed to be good for us. Whole nuts tend to be scratchy, so I generally limit them. Have you eliminated dairy? I love cheese, and I will spend quite a bit of money on a good hunk of interesting cheese. :)

eating fat doesn't make you fat, but eating more calories than you need will. chose foods that are very dense in calories. also, if you are flaring, you won't gain weight anyway because the food moves too fast.

Omg, I'm having the same problem. Except now that I'm on SCD my choices are even more limiting. I've lost a lot of weight since my flare started. I was 45kg and now I'm 39kg. I think that's about 15 lbs lost. I haven't been under 40kg since like the ninth grade.

Peanut butter (or any nut butter for that matter), quinoa, and greek yogurt!

Colitis- nice! I didn't even think of coconut yogurt. I have troubles with dairy stuffs heh.

Yeah, so I will agree with everyone here, but flaring makes it hard to gain. It will come back when you start to heal. It's a toughie, but these are all great suggestions to gain. Also I think it's very important to stay hydrated as much as possible. But for real, eat anything and everything you can tolerate, and lots of hydration. You can also do chicken broth etc, to get more minerals etc. And also, if anyone is giving you crap about being thin, don't let them. Cuz that's not cool. I have had that happen a lot to me. Just tell them look b I got an angry colon zip it lol. But yeah. Good fats help if you can tolerate, and everything else ppl said here is really helpful :)

I'll check tomorrow if I can find some coco milk as some of you suggested here, let's hope it is tasty.

I read about it also, and we have to drink it with caution since it contains a lot of saturated fats, which can cause heart and blood pressure problems on the long term.

Unfortunately pred doesn't make me eat more nor open my appetite more than that. I would say it's the contrary...

40 mgs/day of Predisone didn't make you fat? Most people who take it usually gain weight and attitudes.

You might want to try those nutrition drinks that add protein and calories to your diet. The nutritionists and doctors have me drinking Ensure a few times a day because I am losing weight rapidly and dealing with malnourishment.

I gained like half a pound on pred. Even though I did have a noticeable increase in appetite, I didn't gain much at all!!

Pasta and rice are my safe foods!

I bought some coconut milk, taste is not bad at all.
I made some crepes with it and used rice flour instead of wheat flour, plus eggs (only the yellow part not the white because I think I'm intolerant to it ) but they weren't so good. That's probably due to rice floor not coco milk. I have to try again and modify the recipe.
