Can't stop eating!!

Yeah, it can be tough with pred hunger...just try and avoid salty foods (this will definitely increase you chances of a lot of extra weight/moonface) and try even though it's hard, to drink water as much as possible to help fill you up so you won't be as prone to fill up with too much food.

I ate so much on pred, it was ridiculous. I seriously didn't stop eating the entire day. I don't know how I didn't go completely broke. I notice it now because I typically eat like a bird and I am very stingy about spending money on food. When i was on pred, I spent tons on grocerys each week and ate everything before I could get to the store to refill. My GI said it's best to eat how you ate before pred even though you're hungry.

I was just recently diagnosed(2 weeks ago) and I'm on on 40 mg pred for about 1.5 weeks(start coming off of it on next monday). I though I was just starving since I had lost about 15% of my body weight due to UC issues in the last few months. So now I know the Pred makes you hungry! Either way I need to put on 20 lbs anyway as I look(and feel) like an 80 yr old skinny man at the moment.
