Hello. I am new to this board and thought I would come here to ask some of my questions. I am 20wks pregnant and have been flaring for a while now. I started a round of oral prednisone a few weeks ago but we could only go up to 20mg. My OB was saying that if I take too much or take them for too long that the baby's adrenal glands won't develop! Eek! My GI did say that if these don't work that I don't really have a whole lot of options. Have any of you dealt with this? I've learned recently about
steroid enema's. Can you tell me about
them? How long do you do them? How many times a day? Is this less risky to the baby?
Also, as a random side note. I was told to try drinking Aloe Vera Juice. I found some in a health food store and it's just like water basically that you are to drink 2oz twice a day. Supposedly it is really good for bowel issues. In the words of the health nuts "It heals you from the inside out!" LOL! Anyone ever tried it? My OB was just kind of like, "Hey, it can't hurt."
