@sueinmn Our mentor Kathryn used Ice Cream and it worked well, you can also get a drink from your Dr if it gets too severe and it works great, or just eat lots.

What I read about weight loss and Mac... that’s a side effect so we can try to gain but I think the only way is when we are tested bug free. Because one of my problems is loss of appetite, I used to love food and cooking but recently I don’t feel hungry. I drink more protein shakes and ensures but I eat so little. I used to weigh 135 and now 100 or maybe 102.

@sueinmn Sue, when I got down to 116 lbs (down from 143 lbs) I added cheese & mayonaise to most vegetables, including mashed pototoes, & sandwhiches. I just tried pumping up the calories everywhere I could. Plus, I drank the protein shakes and would add ice cream to those. Now that I am infection free, I am watching that I don't put too much back on. I am now at 130 lbs. So, it's do-able girlfriend!
