Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Predinisone is alot stronger and apparently worse on the bones. This is what my docs have told me . a sol wrote: Other than the fact that prednisone is 4 times stronger? sol Cherie wrote: > Does oral HC cause problems with the digestive tract?

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I'm sorry I didn't phrase that very well. I'm wondering if taking HC is rough on the digestive tract. I was also wondering if it would be harder on the stomach and intestines than prednisone or easier on it. I've taken prednisone and didn't have a problem with it hurting my stomach, so I wanted to know if HC would be different in that regard. I know prednisone is not a good drug to take even if it is a necessary evil at times.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hi Cherie, I just started using HC cream in the morning. I don't eat when I first get up, but would like to get that on board. It is every bit as powerful as the pills, in my expeience. HC is not as strong as prednisone. If you took prednisone for a short term, it may not have torn up your stomach. in OH >>>I'm sorry I didn't phrase that very well. I'm wondering if taking HC is rough on the digestive tract.

I'm wondering if taking HC is rough on the digestive tract. >> Can be very, very hard on digestive system! I had a scope done at the end of the summer and they found erosion in my stomach (duodenal bulb) because of the HC! I had to be on an anti-ulcer medication for three months. Now I am drinking lots of milk and yogurt with my morning dose and using cream for the afternoon (am changing over to HC cream). Be very careful to eat sufficiently with the HC pills.
