Hi Ri-Ri!
It also depends on the treatment you are following, could you tell us more about what you take?

I'm so sorry you have this disease at such a young age.I do know what its like to be on lots of meds that cause weight gain, like prednisone (I took 100 mg. for a couple of years). Make sure whatever it is that you put into your body counts. If your eating just cause, then eat celery, carrots, etc. Make sure you get milk or yogurt everyday. There was a time when all I could swallow in a day was about 1/2 cup. I had a little banana, avacado and yogurt. If needed consult a nutritionist, as you need fuel for your body..
