Hey guys,

I have been in a flare for a month now. My GI lowered my prednisone since it was not doing anything for me but give me bad side affects. My problem now is I am losing weight. I have regular BM's but there is always blood. Any help on how I can bulk up. I am eating allot and drinking water, vitamins and taking my meds. I am a guy 5/10 and am down to 138 pounds I should be about 150.

Perhaps try taking some high calorie Ensure's between meals. That's all I can think of. Good luck.

You need to inform your doctor that you are losing weight. He/she needs to know this as they monitor your overall health.

Hi Sue,

I did let him know last week and I have a open lab for him to check my hemoglobin. The last time I had a flare 2 years ago I was becoming anemic. I see him again in two weeks if I don't get better he needs to do a colonoscopy he said to make sure it is not a hemoroid or a fissure. I just keep losing blood.
