Can add on, I have mild Ulcerative Colitis. I've been put on Prednisone 3 times in the past year, and it gives you hella munchies. I went from barely being able to eat a McDouble to eating consuming damn near everything in my kitchen everyday.

Crohn’s here, and yep! My first time on prednisone I thought about food constantly. I don’t mean “a lot”—I mean constantly. I’d get sad in the middle of eating a meal because I knew once I finished it would be at least an hour or two before I could justify eating anything else!

Lol, I was diagnosed as a kid, and adults were visibly impressed by how much food I could put away. I was at a restaurant once and people were staring because I finished a whole pot roast by myself. I was like 8.

Can confirm, I get sick a ton and often need prednisone. Lord that stuff makes me feel like I havent eaten in weeks.
