Is it normal to be able to eat more kinds of foods without a bad reaction while you're on high dose pred?

I'm on 40mg of pred right now and I find I can actually consume dairy without having intense bowel reactions. This is good because I was worried about how I was going to get my calcium.

Once I start tapering, I wonder if my diet is going to get very restricted again.

Yes, completely normal for me. I have a lot of food sensitivities that do not seem to bother be when taking prednisone. Although I have never tried any of the foods I am genuinely allergic to while on pred, that’s just not worth the risk.
