Worst thing about prednisone for me is the taste. I don't get why it can't have even the slightest coating on it to keep that nasty bitter taste out my mouth. I don't have chron's though.I've heard it's awful. I'm guessing they give you prednisone with some regularity?
Seriously! Nastiest taste ever. If you take it with some peanut butter (or any nut butter I guess), it really seems to cut down on it.
I have Ulcerative Colitis, and whenever I have a major flare, I end up on prednisone for anywhere from 3 months at the shortest, to 1 year (8 pills a day) for the longest.
And then there's the weight gain.... Thanks for responding!
Ugh that sounds awful. The side effects of prednisone are no fun to deal with either. My boss was in it for an extended time and got the rounded moon face from it. Peanut butter is a good idea, I'll try that next time. Thanks for the idea!
