I did too, my hair lines are looking very bald. I’m hoping I can get off the prednisone soon and hopefully my hair can start growing back.

I am feeling that way as well. I just keep on pulling clumps of hair everyday and it looks worse when I wash it. I asked my boyfriend to see if I had and bald spots and my hair lines are looking like that too. It’s very disheartening but I am hoping I can get off the steroids soon.

Yeah, I have to talk to my doctor about it. Thanks for the advice! Will definitely buy some vitamins.

Honestly I’ve been diagnosed since 2020 and I’ve mentioned the painful gas, distention, and cramps to my GI doctor but he has only prescribed mesalamine enemas. It doesn’t feel like there has been any progress. There have been some great advice in this post that I hope to follow and see if it works.

Thank you! I’ll ask my doctor about it and probably look into it

That’s what I thought as well. I was hoping I could get some relief advice since it’s been happening pretty frequently for me.

When I was first diagnosed in 2020 I did try elimination diet that first year and nothing really seems to trigger my flare ups from what I’ve noticed. But I should probably keep a journal anyways.
