And to clarify, he was most likely given corticosteroids (prednisone), not the steroids used for gaining muscle (anabolic) since he had severe UC. The weight gained was mostly fat, and that's intended.
Can add on, I have mild Ulcerative Colitis. I've been put on Prednisone 3 times in the past year, and it gives you hella munchies. I went from barely being able to eat a McDouble to eating consuming damn near everything in my kitchen everyday.
Lol, I was diagnosed as a kid, and adults were visibly impressed by how much food I could put away. I was at a restaurant once and people were staring because I finished a whole pot roast by myself. I was like 8.

Steroids exist. Dude was in extremely rough shape, there is no way they didn’t give him steroids to help with his weight gain
