Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

I assume you have consulted a gastroenterologist and also surprised that you haven't been given a detailed nutritional advice since the last six years. If you haven't then I would advise you must consult a gastroenterologist doctor and also consult a dietician or nutritionist as per your doctors guidance.

There is no particular common diet recommended for all patients of ‘Crohns and Inflammatory bowel Syndrome’; as each individual have different symptoms and severity.

I would try to mention general guidelines and also answer your specific query.

The patient should ideally keep a food diary mentioning what he has eaten and whether that has triggered any symptoms like bloating gas, diarrhea or bleeding or constipation. Accordingly he should avoid those foods in future.
The common foods to avoid are coffee, alcohol, XXXXXXX fried foods, high fats like cheese / butter, etc. Avoid large meals and eat frequent small meals throughout the day.

Now, to answer your queries specifically:
1.     You can eat eggs everyday; if you have no symptoms after having it or you can try eating only the boiled egg white which has no fat.
2.     You should avoid too much of cheese and butter but it’s not necessary to completely stop it. So avoid eating it daily.
3.     For weight gain, you should heal your gut with diet and medicine first. I also encourage you to consult a nutritionist in your area for personalized diet.
Till then you should take multivitamins supplements and cod liver oil capsules as per your doctor’s advice.

Hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer if you do not have any follow up queries.
