Crohn's meds to avoid?

I take Pregabalin for PLMD and I am having a Crohn's flare. I may take medicine to try and get out of this and don't know the medications I should avoid and it is likely my gastroenterologist won't know either. Any help? Thanks.

I believe the standard medical treatment for Crohns is steroids.

These shouldn't exacerbate your RLS and may even improve it.

Inflammation is a mediating factor in RLS.

I don't really have any experience with your particular medications for Crohn's disease. I know here in Australia I would ask my chemist/pharmacist for advice as they are far more experienced and often more knowledgeable than doctors . I wish you the best anyway hope it works out for you. If you are considering going off Pregabalin it is advisable not to stop it all at once, it should be reduced gradually.
