I have never had this problem before. I went on prednisone for a horrible case of poison ivy. I gained about 7 lbs. I've been off the prednisone for 3 days and still hovering at same weight. Insanely bloated, and just can't get rid of it.

I IF in the mornings and my eating habits haven't fluctuated much. Any advice to kickstart my system? The bloated feeling is what is killing me.

you are holding water, try going zero carb for 4-5 days, should shed it quickly.

Few things..
7 lbs is not true weight gain..it’s water.
Not sure what IF in the mornings means.
If you want the weight gone now, fast for 24-36 hours.. you will likely go into ketosis and you’re body will dump between 5-8 lbs water.
Or you could wait about a week to ten days.. your body will self adjust and you will be back to normal.
