Yesterday I went to my son's graduation recognition luncheon. I Immediately noticed it was not Uc friendly, but given that I am still on 40 mgs of Pred and having very little problem, I decided what the heck and ate. For the first time In a long time, I ate fruit that was very high in fructose corn syrupamong other stuff. about 2 hours after lunch, I experienced the most horrible leg and foot cramps. My lower back felt cramps too. I thought what have I done?!?! I just knew that this morning I would see blood or something, but just the opposite. I had a good bm and have felt fine. Have you ever had something you ate cause non stomach cramps or do you think this was all coincidental?

could be from the pred...maybe some dehydration? Did you have breakfast that day?

What did you eat the day before?

Lots of fruit would have caused me discomfort about 6 hours afterward, but I can't see it causing you sore back or leg/foot cramps 2 hours after eating.

Regardless...yay for you having a good bm the following morning. I would have suspected it give you looser stool than anything else. but see how tomorrow morning's bm is like.

I had rainbow ice cream last week. It wasn't out till 2 days afterward (which surprised me)...yep, greyish poo..ugh..lol. I didn't even enjoy the ice cream..too much grape flavour in it. Certainly isn't how I remember rainbow ice cream from years gone by.

Hope you don't have any trouble tapering the pred.
