My problem with prednisone is hunger would lead me to eat too much, so I'd try to find something to focus my attention so I'm not always dwelling on how hungry I am. Maybe clear liquid in the morning and full liquid at lunch? Full liquids can include ice cream, pudding, yogurt, nutriotional beverages (like Ensure), cream soups, in addition to anything you could eat on a clear liquid. If I were feeling OK tomorrow, I'd probably bump it to a full liquid. If it were me, and I had to go to the ER this morning due to abdominal pain, I'd probably stick to a clear liquid diet all day. Anyway, that should be more than half the calories your body needs in one day.it can get you by for short stints out of necessity, but it doesn't help make you feel full. Although when I did that, my doctor advised me to work up to 6 a day and not just go from 0 a day to 6 in one day. If you drink 6 Ensure scattered throughout the day, that's 1500 calories. Have you tried a nutritional drink like Boost or Ensure while on a liquid diet? It can provide a lot of vitamins and calories that you are probably lacking in your current flare. How quickly do you try to introduce other foods?Īre you saying that you can handle the foods you listed (yogurt, potatoes, chicken, cheese) but not anything else or are these foods also giving you trouble? I am on 40mg prednisone and usually it kicks in by now. HELP!!!!! And how long do I eat these things. I don't do good with any vegetable unless it is well a well cooked pototate or some root vegetble.

I don't do well on wheat so I stay away from that. this seems to be a constant source of discussion between the two of us. Question is: what are safe foods to eat during a flare? My husband would prefer I jsut drink gatorade and not eat anything. Although this time I'm getting my period and I felt the pain in my lower abdominal region so that is new for sure.

maybe cottage cheese / cheese and then any thing else and I get explosive D and severe abdominal pains, usually upper left Q. Seems like I drink Gatorade for a while and do well. Low grade fever like I do with most Crohn's flares. this Sat, I am covered on my husband's insurance and will probably have a colonoscopy or MRI, etc then. Second ER visit this AM for servere abdonminal Pain. Been on prednisone for three weeks now and barely getting by. So it has been three months and I'm still flaring.

Good clear liquid diet foods
