Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 > My biggest prob w/ pred is my gut. Eat with it always. Good Luck! Me too, but I found it out by accident. I was listing all my meds and the times I took them so I wouldn't forget or take extra doses. And lo and behold, the stomach pain came right after the prednisone! Not just upset but serious pain. I also found this online... " Prednisone makes your stomach and intestines more susceptible to the irritating effects of alcohol, aspirin, and certain arthritis medications. This effect increases your risk of ulcers. " I wondered why it seemed it was both my stomach and my intestines. And here I thought it must be the NSAIDS. Glad I'm tapering down now on the pred...
