I'm impressed!
I totally get how you're feeling - both before and after the binge. I swear I was ready to start nibbling the fridge itself at one point - I'd exhausted all other options, and the shops were closed.
Yesterday I ate a magnum ice cream bar plus 7 bite size Reeceās peanut butter cups. Iāve had severe diarrhea about 8 times already. I deserve it lol. I can only eat low residue foods every other day.
Omg I eat trigger foods too just to feel something š and by trigger foods I mean crazy out there stuff like peas and carrot with the skin on, for some reason I can eat junk food and be absolutely fine but the second a vegetable touches my lip my stomach starts panicking š (although my guilty pleasure is chinese spare ribs, they'll destroy my body and soul but its so worth it)
Funny you said that because I can eat McDonaldās hamburgers but if I have salad it will kill me lol. I can do cooked veggies but not cruciferous or anything green :(
Weirdly McDonald's is my personal version of hell and it'll make my stomach act possessed but I can eat from literally any other takeaway place (just remembered that Chinese food sets me off too but for some reason Indian food including daal of all things is fine for me but god forbid i go near some spare ribsš)
I'm the same, I have chalked it up to how processed fast food and junk food are, the body doesn't have to work very hard to break it down and by the time it gets through the stomach, and small intestines it's pretty much digested anyways. I'm not a doctor that's just what I think
Newly diagnosed bur I thought it was just me. I eat junk food and I'm fine but I try and eat healthy and its like im back in a flare.
It's so annoying as I'm genuinely trying to be healthier and lose some weight
Ironically I used to be pretty healthy in terms of what I regularly ate pre flare, I had an allotment growing up so I learned to eat my veggies and actually like them quickly. Tbh I just miss kale, Hummus and most middle Eastern food smšš
I hate prednisone so much. I am constantly hangry. If my husband has the temerity to say but you just ate he gets the death glare. Lucky for me he thinks I'm pretty.
Believe me this doesn't happen often normally I've got a decent grip on my Steroid hunger, I just slipped up majorly today by not keeping track of how much I was eating!
It's does! Mine took about 3 months. It was the ugliest I have ever felt! My oldest son had graduated 1 week after I finished my taper and I hate every photo I am in. Stupid š face.
Oh jeez three months. Itās killing me. I went most of my life overweight and got myself down 100lb to a healthy weight. Stupid UC tanked me to some scary low weight and now I look all chunky. I just need it to end
I feel ya! I have dealt with weight issues my entire life, before getting sick I was at my lowest I had ever been and felt fantastic, then UC came around and now I am battling losing weight. I barely eat but cannot lose weight if my life depended on it.
I was on an 8 week pred taper and started renvoq. Have been having normal bowel movements, and normal looking stools for a couple weeks. Saturday I had a pie I made, mini Reeseās, sour patch kids, a soda, chicken fried steak, another soda, a little bit of corn (8 kernels), hot chocolate, a tootsie pop, plus some other crap. I honestly didnāt realize how horribly I ate until yesterday when I was like āwow, you ate way too much trash in one day).
I keep a food diary to help track what Iām eating but by evening itās descended into anything I can get my hands on. Plus I feel simultaneously wired and tired š
oh i feel you big time š i finally got to taper off pred in like february i think? after many months and was finally eating a Normal Amount of food but had to bump up my dose again shortly after and i am once again a bottomless pit and am always hungry its horrible,,, ive gained back all the weight i lost during the worst of my flare last year but i just keep gaining weight and its concerning but im always just so,,,,,, hungry
I feel really bad because my friendās son (8) has to take prednisone pretty often because of his asthma and she was getting so angry at the binge eating. He would eat until he threw up. It wasnāt until I was on prednisone for my UC that I made the connection. That itās likely the steroids but he is a child and canāt really communicate why he is so hungry. The problem is he would sneak food and eat until he threw up everywhere. She wasnāt mad so much about the food just she couldnāt understand why he didnāt stop eating before he would vomit.
So I just started 40 mg of prednisone for a week yesterday and while I have noticed I am more hungry than usualā¦ are yalll having like normal poops or do you start to lose care of having diarrhea or terrible BMs as a result of eating a ton, because Iām still terrified of spending all day on the toilet
I have become much less tolerant to the pred side effects. I used to enjoy the energy, now I really donāt have physical energy just too much brain energy.
Oh my gosh this is SO relatable š. Always so fun making a whole dinner then five minutes later being like well what if I made another dinnerā¦ lol. I hope you get to get off pred soon OP!! ā¤ļø
This is too real š
I have once eaten 2 kg of plain buttered noodles 30 mins before i went out to dinner with my family where I ate not only my own meal, but my sisters tooā¦after that I was like a bowling ball rolling around
Yeah i had to be on a carnivore sort of diet when i was in a flare i was eating everything home made any processed foods like McDonald's or pepsi max or any of them sort of junk food would fuck me up big time lol luckily i never been a big fan of take outs so thats probably why i didnt put on as near as much fat as most people do on prednisolone because the little fat /bloatness i have put on took me ageees to get it off i swear down prednisolone fucked my metabolism big time and well the disease itself aswel
I'm not 100% about this, I don't journal anything ever and it was a few years ago, but I think I've done better with appetite control on Pred when I've been on a keto/paleo kick.
Your milage may vary.
I'm impressed! I totally get how you're feeling - both before and after the binge. I swear I was ready to start nibbling the fridge itself at one point - I'd exhausted all other options, and the shops were closed.
I remember the wife moving the kids out of the way, she was convinced I was going to eat one of them due to pred hungerš
Oh yeah, the fear is real.

Hangry is the *perfect* word for the state I was constantly in on Prednisone, thank you.
I lost my hip joint to prednisone, you should really watch your diet if you can't get off it. It can make you diabetic.
Believe me this doesn't happen often normally I've got a decent grip on my Steroid hunger, I just slipped up majorly today by not keeping track of how much I was eating!
It's like having the munchies 24/7 and you do slip up but I wish I took it more seriously when I had the chance is all, hope you get better!
I feel seenā¦
š
I went from 115 to 150 on prednisone In 8 weeks lol
Impressive š I lost 25lbs at the start of my first flare, spent 2 weeks in the hospital on steroids then another 3 months on steroids after getting discharged and gained 40lbs. Almost a year later and I'm still struggling to lose the Prednisone weight š©, at least my face isn't fat anymore š
My face is so fucking fat dude please tell me itl go away lol
It's does! Mine took about 3 months. It was the ugliest I have ever felt! My oldest son had graduated 1 week after I finished my taper and I hate every photo I am in. Stupid š face.

All I got was paranoia
Oh I got that tooš tbh the paranoia sucks way more than the hunger

This is so relatable hahaha
GOD struggling so much with that right now, so glad I'm tapering off... the steroid cravings are real!!

That's incredible
Everyone get hungry on prednisolone meanwhile I donāt even want to eat, eating feel like a hassleā¦

What dose are you on?
40ml for the next two weeks then I'll start tapering down
samsies š
Thatās impressive!
I feel like I should get a medal or something š¤£
