Never tried that, but I had great results with Crohn's disease. Lost 20 pounds in a week.

what happened after they put you on the prednisone?

I was lucky to be put on budesonide (Entocort) instead. Unlike prednisone, it doesn't work systemically and only affects a part of the small intestine, which means that it has much less severe side effects than other corticosteroid drugs.

Eat unprocessed, natural foods.
Stay away from sugar and processed carbohydrates.
Exercise every day.
Lift weights.
Calculate your BMR and attempt to stay at that amount.
