While prednisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication, studies on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patients have repeatedly shown that fecal calprotectin levels can remain elevated despite clinical improvement with glucocorticoid therapy.

Determining what is the best anti-inflammatory for IBS requires a personalized approach, as no single treatment fits all.
