My GI referred me to a dietician who specializes in IBD. She told me that moderately severe UC requires extra protein to heal. She recommended glutamine powder, egg whites or egg white powder, nut butters. I doubled my protein consumption and got better (also on Entyvio, mesalamine, hydrocortisone), but I have not gained much muscle mass in spite of working out. But maybe that's because I'm 55 and it's harder to gain muscle at that age.
