Crohns is pretty rough, my mum has had it for over 20 years. She has never really found any medication that worked, 20 years of doctors thinking of new ideas and putting her through different medications, injections and multiple operations to remove parts of her intestines. Glad to hear they found something that works for you mini, GL with everything in the future

I'm happy to just watch you stream. Maybe big wins in some online events will one day give you confidence and stability to play in LANs, but I can see why you wouldn't want to either way. Glad to hear things are improving for you.

Congratulations on your remission! I've struggled with IBD most of my life as well and I still haven't quite found the best treatment for me. That's a big achievement, doing well at SC2 will be a lot easier. I have no doubt you'll do quite well in the future.

I remember getting cannon rushed like 3 times in a row by minigun and then getting destroyed in a straight up macro game. I wish you good luck on your return to school and with your symptoms.

Whenever asked about the protoss players who had potential in NA, Minigun tended to come up first or second out of my mouth.

I've always really respected you Mini. You were one of the reasons I ever considered playing Protoss. The fact you never stopped trying to improve was also inspiring and I hope you carry that into other aspects of your 'new' life.

your too good to stop playing, whatever happens just keep in on the side as a hobby.

In terms of upping your weight, im in the same boat, hovering between 120-130 lbs except im stand between 6' and 6'1. unfortunately going to the gym will not increase your weight (at least it didnt for me) and running definitely wont (although if its making you feel good keep going). ill give you the same advice ive read 100x over. Eat alot, 4-5 meals a day, everyday.

Minigun, you've been my favorite player soon after I saw your 60 APM, 110 probe games on the ladder as InflowMini. You have one of the best streams, great youtube commentary, and you made a great 2v2 team with Destiny. One of my favorite moments on Destiny's stream was when you kept stalker-sentry 4 gating all the zergs on Xel Naga and never losing.

GL with all that you do.

damn minigun, i remember when i watched you start streaming back when you'd get like 70 viewers tops, and you just made a shitload of probes and started using storm, it was so awesome. You're like the only protoss that i actually care about doing well. Glad to hear that you are starting to feel better. Real life>SC2. Good luck at school, and life.

Eat things. Grab that extra meal, double up your burger or really if you feel like it, stuff like chocolate and doughnuts etc. You can also get some 600 calories per litre of "regular" milk - you dont have to put on weight fast, but if you are running and hitting gym 3-4 times a week properly dont be suprised if you need >500 calories/day more than you used to in order to just maintain weight, and you would probably want even more if you are looking to build muscle well from an underweight standpoint especially with added cardio etc.

Eat everything, as long as you watch sugar etc its better than being underweight, and you wont see any major short-term downsides. It may seem difficult but its really as simple as calorie intake.

As LgNKami said you will also want a ton of protein if you are trying to build muscle fast, as much as 100-150g for your weight on workout days for best result. You cant really eat too much of it, and if you dont eat nearly that much, its fine, as long as you are working out properly and have the calorie intake to keep up and back your weight gain, and a diet that is GENERALLY ok, it can be lopsided or "wrong", you dont have to stick to any rules as long as what you eat is somewhat sensible.

It's actually not this simple for most people with crohn's. There's not enough known about it, but there's some trial and error in diet, and even asymptomatic, you can have trouble in your guts that cause nutrient malabsorbtion.

Scientific method, mostly trial and error, guesswork, and being pissed.


Yup exactly, thank you. Everyone with Crohn's goes through tons of different foods finding what works and what doesn't. It's a really tedious and awful endeavor because every time you fuck up you physically suffer.

It's actually kind of annoying to me... every time I tell someone I have Crohn's the first thing a lot of people do is try to tell me what diet I "should" be on, or recommends me some bullshit South Beach book or whatever. I've spent years trying to figure it out. No offense to the guy you're quoting, they're being one hundred percent kind and have good intentions. But I hope you get my point haha.


Yeah, then there's phase of the moon, and tons of other stupid factors. I particularly love when people tell me I could cure it with veganism when the majority of plants immediately fuck with my guts.

i sympathize with a lot of your post. i'm currently on celexa too with a variety of other stuff and it's worked for me as well. it's weird how your life can almost completely diverge from its path and become brighter after you find the right medication. i'm a huge fan and as much as i'd love to see you compete at high levels i'm very happy for you and i'm glad that you're taking drastic steps to improve your life. much love 2 u.

I always watched your stream whenever I could and you were my favorite protoss player. Every time I saw you were playing in a tournament, I hoped you would win the entire thing. I hope your health improves and you find success in school.

Good to hear you're taking care of yourself - your own health is easily the most important. The goals you listed are also solid indicators of a positive direction. Getting on anti-depressants is also a huge, huge HUGE change, and it might be difficult to find the one that works for you, but rest assured the end result is worth it. I was fortunate enough to do a course of SSRIs after 7 years of depression myself and it turned everything around for me in a big way.

Good luck man. But with the way you come off here, it sounds like you won't need it.

unfortunately going to the gym will not increase your weight (at least it didnt for me)


If you are weight training and eating extra calories you can put on a lot of muscle weight that way, though, compared to just eating without doing any work.

If you were to just go to a gym and do weight training (or cardio stuff) then it would be a pretty big contributor to losing weight, but thats not the idea, the idea is to do it while eating as much as 500-1000 calories over your maintenance rate if you want to gain a lot of muscle and general weight fast.
