Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 has anyone taking the Deltacortril experienced stomach problems from it? I'm having trouble with stomach cramps/bloating in the PM...and it seems to have started with the Delta. I think that the prednisolone can cause stomach upset...but geez....it's such a low dosage. I had problems with the Isocort causing stomach upset too. cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hi, Cindi: I'm on hydrocortisone 2.5 mg 3x day, which is causing occasional indigestion -- horrible pain in the upper stomach/esophagus area. I've had ulcers before so am concerned. I'm going to try to call my doctor today or tomorrow. Dr. Jeffries wrote in his book that cortisol can cause stomach upset. He suggests taking cortisol with an antacid, but don't antacids interfere with thyroid absorption? I'm wondering if Tagamet once a day will keep that stomach acid down. Did you experience stomach problems on Cortef too? Or have you tried Cortef? Thanks. PS I always take mine with meals, that's why I can only fit it in 3x a day so far. But it still bothers my stomach. > has anyone taking the Deltacortril experienced stomach problems from it?
