How Can I Lose Weight When They Have Me Taking Prednisone? It Makes Me Gain Weight.
Try to go to physical therapy and try to walk when you can and put more fiber into your diet.
I also take predisone. I try to eat mostly protein. Try to stay away from carbs. I have not gain much maybe 5 lbs. I do also eat some fruit.
Prednisone, often used to manage myasthenia gravis, can cause weight gain due to increased appetite and fluid retention. To manage weight:
1. Focus on a balanced diet: Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid high-sodium and processed foods to reduce water retention
2. Control portions: Be Show Full Answer
I am struggling with this too. Dr's do not have helpful answers either just that it's because your on steroids. I would be careful about fiber if you are already having bathroom side effects as that may make worse (at least in my humble opinion). I think we are each on our own hear as we can all tolerate different things.
Hi Yvette
Steroids make you put on weight the more active you are. I guess it builds strength. MG does not let us be active. water can sit on us too
I've learned that over the years. I haven't had any prednisone since ast year.
I minimized my everything, my activity, my food, water cause water can sit on me too. Be cautious about it because we need to have the prednisone and mestinon. And sometimes any exertion is too much when it comes to MG. so take 1 day at a time. MG is not smar, be careful.
stay hopeful 😎
