Anyone with Crohn’s? or know those with IBD…?

I have Crohn’s and have recently started Remicaid infusions. I fell better since starting treatment, ie. i have no more pain, but can still feel movement when food is passing through colon. I also believe I am malnourished. My question is what are things I can do he help become more healthy and start gaining weight. I am at 140lbs, but should weight about 170lbs. What are some good healthy foods that I can digest easily and gain nutrition from? I’m was advised to eat a low fiber diet by the doc.

My adult step daughter has a very strict diet. She can have “red” meat maybe once a month, mostly eats chicken and fish, sometimes pork. Salad with no creamy dressings. Careful with dairy products but can and does have at least 2 yogurts a day.
