Hi, David. When I travel or have dental procedures I drink hemp protein in almond milk. It has 15g of protein in 3 tablespoons. I purchase it online at Vitacost. I don't have any issues with it. Like you, I was underweight after my diagnosis but once my gut was straightened out by diet, magnesium and Vit D3 I was able to put the weight back on. I am 5 lbs. less than pre-diagnosis but I'm happy at this weight.

The reason why you can't gain weight is because you do not eat enough. 2,000 calories is a maintenance level diet. When I was your age I ate twice as much, sometimes more. And I was probably smaller than you. I weighed about 64–65 kilos. Of course a lot of that was what we call "junk food" today (high-calorie food such as cookies, cakes, and candy), but I burned it all anyway If your job is physically demanding, you can easily burn that many calories every day. You don't need more types of food to gain weight, you just need to eat more of everything you like to eat. Calories = weight gain.

I'm talking about my 40's and 50's, I didn't work so hard when I was in my 20's and 30's. I was enjoying the academic life, and teaching at a university when I was in my 20's and 30's. Yes, my IBD symptoms started when I was in my 50's and I still ate a lot because I was working hard.

Yep, the right work setting can make life a lot easier when we have MC.

Some local people are trying to raise olive trees here, but they're not having much luck. It's too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. :lol:

High temps in July and August are usually about 98–100 degrees F (37–38 degrees C), but occasionally we have periods of 105–110 degrees F (40–44 degrees C). I don't think that's the problem though. The main problem seems to be the cold in the winter. In a mild winter we have lows around 20 degrees F (-6 degrees C), and in a normal winter we have lows around 10 degrees F (-12degrees C). The lows are often without any snow cover, and that's probably what's hard on a lot of plants.

Not exactly. Everything above ground froze. The top growth all died, but some new growth (a cluster of branches) came out of the roots.
