Guest guest Posted September 16, 1999 Report Share Posted September 16, 1999 Miriam was reduced about 2 weeks ago to 2.5 mg every other day of prednisone which is almost nothing and she was able to tolerate chicken,rice products, and apple products every once in a while seh would have french fries. In the beginning when she was reduced she started to have looser stools as time went on she started getting alot of stomache pains (waking her up a few times in the night) and the diareah started getting worse she is now having completly watery stools 10 times a day. I spoke to my Gi today and he wants to up the prednisone. My husband doesn't want to b/c when we originally agreed on the prednisone it was only to be for 8 weeks it has been more then 3 months already and he made it sound like we should do it for years if need be. Will being on 5 mg long term cause side effects. Should we let her live a life on prednisone and be able to eat chicken and rice products or do we take the chance of taking her off the prednisone and she may have to go back to the life she had before of tube feedings and vivanex. If someone could give me some advise I'd greatly appreciate it Shana ( mom to Miriam 3 1/2 EG, food allergies, YIsroel 2 ,food allergies,asthma, Tehilla 7, ADHD,learning disabilities) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
