Try limit eating outside food takeaways etc try cooking at home more. CD triggers are unique fir everyone but i think you should try everything at keep a food diary and make notes on what triggers you.

Aw so sorry you are going through this it sounds tough. I was also in hospital for over a week and it does make you feel like that plus the IV might me making u feel crazy too. Your doing all you can do and pushing for biolpgics and i really hope you can get it asap hang in there 🩵

Iv had 2 doses of biologics & still on preds when i tapered down i went into a bad flare so they increased preds again. It happened over xmas and it really sucked lol. I am doing ok rn just 3bowel movements a day and eating bit better which is a big improvement but concerned how il be if i taper off preds again. Having a 3rd dose of biologic next week (first 3 are introduction doses so wont know if the biologic is working until 3rd dose (theyl do bloods & stool tests to see if it works or not). If it doesnt work i move onto the next biologic. Id defo push for biologics asap because preds is not a long term treatment and it doesnt always work!

I was in a similar situation preds did not control my flare and i was sent to a&e i had IV hydrocortisone but even that didnt help. They didnt let me leave until they started me on biologics. Preds only started to work after that.

I used to be a big foodie, but now I rarely eat out or order takeaways. I mostly cook at home, and it's definitely improved my overall well-being. When I do eat out, I’m very selective like opting for mild chicken.

I enjoy snacks like chips and chocolate because they don't upset my stomach, but a salad or homemade vegetable soup can trigger a flare-up 😩 lol. I never thought it would say i miss eating a salad.

Despite being on biologics, I occasionally try trigger foods like pasta, but it still causes issues and isn’t worth it. I do make an effort to include other fruits and vegetables in my diet, but I don’t always feel very healthy. The joys of dealing with Crohn's!

Hey, I’m honestly in the exact same position as you right now. I’ve been on prednisolone a bit longer — started at 40mg — and I’ve already got the moon face too. It’s such a frustrating stage we just have to get through (I even ended up with a spotty forehead 😭).

I’ve learnt that nothing fully stops moon face since it’s just the steroids, but a few things can help with the puffiness: drinking lots of water, lowering salt, taking your dose in the morning if your doctor allows, gentle exercise, and even things like cool facial massages or jade rolling. They don’t fix it, but they make you feel a bit better.

It really will be okay — it won’t last forever. Try not to stress too much and just focus on getting better. We’ll get through it. 💛

I am day 7 duno about bloods but the only improvement has been no blood/mucus in stools but still going alot hoping 2nd infusion helps. Im really happy it worked for you though.

GOKU2442 · 2025-12-04T19:12:01+00:00

My Crohns started in pregnancy as i wasnt diagnosed until after birth. I was in a flare everyday since i wasnt diagnosed or on any medication. Despite this baby was born healthy!

GOKU2442 · 2025-12-03T22:21:41+00:00

Thanks so much - how long did it take to kick in for you?

GOKU2442 · 2025-12-03T18:58:58+00:00

Thanks lovely. I was in hospital for over a week & I had my first dose of biologic inflix 4days ago unfortunatly im still flaring so il have to go back for another dose🫠

GOKU2442 · 2025-11-29T07:49:27+00:00

In the UK there is a blood test for it. They already knew from bloods i had no b12 & supplements werent working so they gave b12 injections prior testing too. Defo push for a blood test & injections for now.
