Wind 😬 and meds

Hi, does anyone take charcoal tablets for wind😬? Also, my son has been told to reduce Prednisolone and take Azathioprine but he hasn’t been told if he should wait until he’s off Prednisolone or take them together. Waiting nearly 2 weeks to hear from consultant. Just wondering what others do?

Normally prednisolone is reduced slowly but as you reduce then aza is introduced but this should all be medically supervised. You don't generally go to zero pred and then aza most folks take both at the same time and only when ALT is normal can you potentially come completely off pred.

Can't offer any comment on whether the charcoal would be allowed - it doesn't stop wind but helps with 'odour neutralising'.

Yes that seems to be what everyone is saying. It’s really frustrating chasing the consultant constantly for written detailed information ☹️. I’ll chase them again Monday

Yes I am and they gave the same advice but I suppose we need to wait for confirmation from the consultant

I'm not too sure about Charcoal tablets because I've been told by doctors that anything Charcoal like tablets and even Charcoal biscuits can effect pharmaceutical medicines, but if ur doctor has given you them and your on other medicines then I would imagine he's checked this is OK to take.
