Can you take Prednisone and eat yogurt

hi long, I am a female crohn is pt. Is ur bf a candidate for Entocort (a steroid but NO serious side effects that r absorbed into the blood stream like prednisone) by chance? reason i ask is that most GI r leaning toward the newer treatments: Remicade, Humira, 6MP, or Imuran. Surgery is always a last option when medicinal treatment has failed & the pt. is quality of life is next to none.

if u go to the crohn is & colitis foundation website, u will find information on diet, exercise, surgery, treatments, locate a local support group near u so u can educate yourself about IBD (crohns or ulcerative colitis). Also, they have a live chat & an 800 number u can call M-F 9 am - 5 pm. Both r run by healthcare professionals well versed in Crohns. At their educational meetings some of the speakers r MDs, drug reps, dieticians, etc. w/Q&A sessions at the end of each lecture. I have learned ALOT by attending these meetings. For ex- do NOT drink or smoke b/c it can interfere w/treatment, use the BRAT diet (Bananas,Rice, Applesauce, Toast) when flaring & can not eat much, drink plenty of water, for pain use a heating pad on ur gut 15 min. on 15 off or a Thermacare heat wrap for ur back..position the discs over the sore spot & he can sleep w/it for 8 hrs.

As for diet, see if u can set up an appt. at a local hospital with a dietician. His MD might be able to give him a recommendation as well. Dieticians deal with all sorts of illness related diets each day. I've provided a link for the american dieticians association for you. You can even locate an RD in ur own town if he does not wish to drive to the hospital.

I hope this helps u both out. best of luck. :)

There is no restriction to eating yoghurt while taking prednisolone.
As far as meals are concerned, it is more of the question what he likes amongst the options open for him.
Good luck!
