Hollylou,
You sound just like me. I got food poisening on Dec 2 and have been sick ever since. I lost 20 pounds. I am small boned too, so I looked terrible. I got down to 119 pounds and I am 5'11". I had tons of trouble at first eating. I got to the point where I did not even want to eat. I was totally fine without eating. I got so weak. Finally, I started drinking ensure. I get the coffee latte flavor. I freeze it for 30 minutes and it tastes almost like a frappacino. I was able to get my calories from drinks and finally was able to eat more. I started out just eating mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, soups, oatmeal, apple sauce, toast, and cereal. I slowly introduced fruits, vegies, and meat. I am doing much better now and you will too. Try the ensure drinks. They are really good. They have about 200 calories, so they count as a snack. I was drinking like 6 a day to gain my weight. It took me three months to gain 12 pounds. I also can eat ice cream. I know a lot of ibsers can not. That will help with the weight as well if you can tolerate it. The only dairy that I had to elminate was milk, cheeses, and yogurts. I hope this helps.
Tara
