I briefly mentioned earlier I have a cold. It is pretty bad but is not an infection so instead of antibiotics they put me on 10 prednisone. It is to help my energy come back as I had to work today and tomorrow. When I had been on it before it was for poison ivy. Both times I was on mega doses for a month or so and had a shot. The last time I refused to do another round of it. It wasn't helping the poison ivy and I just couldn't bear the side effects. It makes me hungry, sick to my stomach all around, shaky, high strung, dangerous on the road and I jump at my own shadow (literally). I can't even put makeup on after a week or so. Also my period was late once from it. Yikes! But 10 pills is no big deal! except for being awake most of last night I haven't had any disturbing side effects yet.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
