I to have been on pred for several years, nothing helps to really subdue pain and inflamation like prednisone. It really made me feel better for couple years then side effects hit me, lower bone density and pain., fatigue, liver and colon issues. I even got Diverticulosis. I started researching to find what prednisone depletes , to try and off set its effect. I now take 15 supplements and drink lot of coconut water from real coconuts. Steroid drugs such as prednisone4 and triamcinolone5 have been shown to deplete the body of calcium, magnesium, folic acid, potassium, selenium, vitamin C, and vitamin D. When a woman takes estrogen, it depletes the body of B vitamins, regardless of the form of estrogen.
I take green tea tablets with tumeric they work together for inflamation and metabolism, also take large pill for Vitamin d3 calcium magnesium and zinc, mens multi vitmin, 2 pills for 23 fruits base antioxidonts probiotics and digestive enzymes, 3 pills of natures plus GI natural- has enzymese probiotics whole foods and essential cofactors,1 pill 324 mg of iron, 2 tablets cinnamon with chromium since started taking all these supplements, no longer have bone vise cramps, stop anal bleeding , much better energy, and brain fog reduce immensley. my stool is no longer liquid but has a soft- medium actual form. Natural supplements have really help side effects. Anyone have a better formula please let me know. My wife asian , found at asian market fresh coconuts bought coco jack to oen coconuts much easier. and drink 3 a day for health.
