DID ENTOCORT MAKE ANYONE HUNGRY

[lisa15601]

I am on 9mg, Day 3 and I seem to be constantly hungry, always in pain but constantly hungry. Is this normal? And also what can I drink if I have LC. Is ginger ale ok.

[Joefnh]

Lisa yes as you start to feel better your appetite will return. I would imagine ginger ale would be ok. For nausea I chew on candied ginger root.

I'm actually in a lot of pain tonight. My intestines feel like they are burning and I have left sided back and chest and pelvic pain, but I have an appetite. I want to think positive but its so hard

[Joefnh]

I'm sorry to hear of the pain Lisa, are these new pains that you do not normally have?

It does sound like you are in the middle of a nasty flare up.

I know a lot of the posts have covered diet and I would like to add that you should be careful of any raw vegetables and acidic juices like OJ or lemon juice. I know for me any OJ or other citrus juices can cause a lot of burning pain.

I used to have a salad for lunch every day but no more. If I have any raw veggies or fruits (except bananas) these will cause pain and D. Be sure to thoroughly cook all your vegetables.

Hope you feel better

All I have been drinking is water and occasionally gingerale or peppermint tea. I just feel awful tonight. I feel like I have been feeling the past two months. I used to take valium ocassionally and buspar and have stopped. I am scarted to put more into my system than the steroids.

Hmmm.. peppermint doesn't agree with me... could that be a problem for you as well? For any extreme pain with other symptoms I would check with my doctor to make sure nothing else is going on.
