I just put my daughter on SCD for UC. We are only a few days in so I can’t say how well it will go. She is eating less as well but not because the diet is so restrictive (although it is hard to do without potatoes and breads and I haven’t received any almond flour to cook with yet) but because it is a change from her normal diet and she is having trouble adjusting to the new foods.
We are also looking at Low Dose Naltrexone. It may be better for your situation since there are more extensive clinical trials for LDN and Crohn’s than for UC. You should look into it. It looks very promising.
Health is of course the first priority. If you’re a growing teenager, you ought eat more than 1400 calories – but if you’re finished growing, 1400 won’t kill you. However, it is rather meager. The simplest thing to do would be to eat more, but exercise to match.
I know it’s difficult to exercise with the lack of energy that Crohn’s and UC bring, but if you’re worried about putting on weight, it’s a decent way to combat that. You could also try asking your doctor about other meds that might not cause this problem.
