    Yep you will find that your weight will fluctuate along with your health. Hopefully now your in remission you will gain most of what you lost but then whenever/ if you flare, you will lose some again. Hopefully now your in remission you will stay that way, good luck

      Yes hopefully, I was in flare for a year. So hopefully small flares won’t  make me loose 2 stone 😂 thanks for reply
