Antinflammatory Diet for Severe Bloating Pulminary Sarcoidosis

[Bodhiforevermine]

Just wanting to know if there are any good healthy foods to help with massive bloating of the abdomen since being on prednisone. I had no stomach before. Have been on the medication for 6 months down to 7.5mg and my stomach looks 8 months pregnant. Anyone else have this problem?

Fat deposits around the middle, back of the neck and the face are typical when on pred. Cutting carbs drastically can help avoid it and even lose weight while still on pred. The pred changes the way your body processes carbs, cut the carbs, reduce the problem. I lost 37lbs or so while still on 10-15mg/day pred by cutting carbs, it was slow but the first place it went was around my middle and I got my waist back!

I have the same problem. I am on 5mg and cannot shift it (despite cutting down carbs) 😡

I am all too familiar with the effects of prednisone & was off of it for nearly 4 years! I'm back on at a dose of 4 mg. It's been nearly 8 weeks & I can feel my hump back and bloated belly. No recommendations really. Just here to commiserate!

Be well, all!

Hi I too had fat face.tummy.back of neck and knees.i did a drug trial for metformin a diabetes drug reduced the fat around tummy.i was not diabetic at the time but did find the drug reduced fat significantly.as this fat around tummy is danger area was good to find something that works. Am now off pred and lost all 5stone I put on whilst ill. I had ritiximub last Jan Feb and put me in remission from pan.having suffered for 10yrs and having no life found it very tricky to deal with.i had eye uveitis , massive ulcers on my shins toes fingers.

There is hope just make sure u have a specialist who has experience of your disease.i gave up meat and bread (as these contain so many hormones ) and smoking to help myself.
