In some of the messages I saw reference to prenisone and weight gain.
When my son was 15, he was on 100mg prenisone a day. The nutritionist
at Univ. Hospitals in Iowa City gave him a diet. It was high in
protein and vegetables and extremely low in carbohydrates. If he
wanted a treat, he could have 2 vanilla wafers. He stayed on that for
a year and did not gain any weight – just had horrible acne!
Hope this helps someone. -Donna
