How do you lose weight while taking corticosteroids?

Question

I cannot do much excercise because I have severe Crohn's disease and the other drugs I take cause me to have zero energy. I do not eat much at all, as a matter of fact I fasted most of October and still gained 15 pounds. I feel like I'm at the end of my rope. I stopped taking the corticosteroid for about 2 weeks and it sent me into a horrible flare and almost completely obstructed my colon. I have to lose weight, I can't afford a new wardrobe. Do I just completely quit eating?

I'm not addicted. I don't even want to take them but I don't want to be in riving pain either from Crohn's disease.

Answer 1

Are you jokeing the steroids will cause you to gain waight , very few don't. and the steroid weight is extremly hard to loose.
When you gain too much waight , they denie you farther treatment because you are too fat and that that is causing you all the trouble to begin with .
A viciuos cycle that the Dr's creat.
Personally I would avoid the steroids . It sounds like you are already addicted.
