Hello everybody!

I stumbled across this forum while googling Prednisone and acne. I found some answers that were helpful and thought this forum might be a useful resource for me.

For a brief history of my Crohn's, I was diagnosed with in April 2009. My Crohn's is mild with some awful flareups here and there. I was recently prescribed Prednisone and antibiotics to deal with an especially awful flareup last month. I have been on Entocort, Pentasa, and tried various probiotics since my diagnosis. I'm currently taking 6mp and all sorts of vitamins and supplements. Focusing on my diet and exercise has been most helpful in my Crohn's treatment.

I'm so excited to have found an active forum for Crohn's disease! I'm looking forward to getting to know the community.:)

Oooh! Vitamins and supplements, one of my favorite topics. If you're game to share, what kinds are you on? And what changes to your diet have you made?

We look forward to getting to know you as well!

Hello and welcome to the forum :) There is a lot of helpful info here so please have a good look around. I assume that a new long term med may be coming into play due this recent flare up? Is the assumption perhaps that the 6mp can no longer keep things settled?

I hope you are already feeling better hun xxx
