How to Gain Weight When You Have IBD?

Smoothies and Juices

If IBD causes a loss of appetite or nausea, it is hard to eat foods. Fortunately, juices and smoothies may be a great option to provide the body with sufficient nutrients and calories. The great thing is that there is a variety of recipes to meet your tastes and preferences. You can choose any fruits you want and add some extra ingredients to boost the flavors and tastes. Smoothies would be particularly suitable for those people who have swallowing and chewing issues. The key to know is that you should drink smoothies slowly instead of drinking quickly like water. This may help with digestion and maximize nutrient absorption. [7]
