ad

Okay guys here it is.i weigh 95kg 10% body fat 191cm tall very lean...had colitis nearly 5 years now but a very small disease it's in my lower bowel and rectum 10cm of disease to be exact..I'm having problems holding muscle mass I'm thinking that my protein intake needs to be much higher because my disease is killing everything...I get around 250g protein a day on this bulk.......any comments

250 grams of protein a day should be plenty. How many calories while bulking?

I have IBD, Crohn's. Someone correct me if I am way off base, but protein is absorbed via your small intestines. So someone with Crohn's encounters this issue not someone with UC, or colitis restricted to your large intestine. Now, if you have the wrong diagnosis and your small intestine is also inflamed this could be applicable.

That's pretty much my understanding too.I guess there's probably a fine libe in terms of how they label it, I've seen plenty of patients diagnosed as Crohn's/Colitis.

I've got a contact that is an IBD specialist, I'll drop him a line for you.

Any certain food stuffs that cause flare ups?
