According To This Nutritionist, Add Crushed Prednisone & Cetirizine To Make Anti-Inflammatory Super Meal
CLEVELAND, OH — Eleanor Moseley, registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic, shares her recipe for a delicious anti-inflammatory meal. The secret is knowing which medications best complement the dish.
Moseley recommends using a mango purée to offset the bitter taste of the corticosteroids and antihistamines.
“You really have to grind those tablets up to get a smooth texture,” she said. “And since these pills can cause heartburn, I like to add 1 tablespoon of Pepto Bismol, which neutralizes the acid and creates a pleasant tickle in your throat.”
For people who can’t stand the taste of medicine, try shoving a plastic funnel down your throat. Moseley suggests using avocado or extra virgin olive oil — high in healthy monosaturated fats — to lubricate the funnel.
How to make Eleanor Moseley’s anti-inflammatory chicken curry:
4 tablets of 20 mg. Prednisone
2 tablets of 10 mg. Cetirizine HCl
8 oz. skinless chicken breast
2 cups of basmati rice
½ cup of mango puree
4 cups of water
½ teaspoon of turmeric
½ teaspoon of garlic powder
1½ cups of mixed vegetables
Optional: 1 tablespoon of Pepto Bismol
