Can I take Prednisone?

[Guest guest]

I just finished my first round of DMPS (6.25 mg every 8 hours for 3

days) last week. Today I took the first ose of my 2nd round (also

6.25mg). But I am have been suspecting that I have some narrowing of

part of my already shortened bowel (due to Crohns surgery) and am

worried it could worsen to the point of needing another surgery.

About a year and a half ago when I felt a similar situation I took the

Prednisone equivalent med known as entocort/budesonide - I had a low

dose (gradually increased to 15mg from 5 mg per day) for about 3 months.

Is it safe to do the same again? Do I need to stop the chelation for now?

Thanks
