A member asked:

Prednisone took away my chronic diarrhea problem, but then it returned 2 days later. does that mean i have inflammation? why did it fix my problem?

IBD: IBD can not be ruled lout but if that were thecase no judgement can be made on the basis of a 2 day prednisone course. I advise you to see your gastroenterologist
