A member asked:
What can you eat while on a paleo diet to gain weight? she's a prednisone-diabetic and has fallen to a scant 101 lbs! i'm very worried about her.

Consult dietitian: With such a complex issue, she needs the help of a dietitian. Also attempts should be made to reduce or eliminate the prednisone since there are alternatives which may be less harmful. Without knowing why the prednisone Rx is for, it is hard to tell you any more.
