Suggest Remedies For Bloating While On Medication Prednisone
I have been on prednisone for approximately 15 months. They are trying to get me off. It is for the medical condition Polymyalgia. I have put on weight since I have been taking it which I understand is normal, but my stomach looks like I am pregnant. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Prednisolone does give rise to stomach upset, hyper acidity and some times a gastric ulcer.
So gradually cut down the dose of prednisolone as advised by your treating doctor.
Take this medicine with full stomach or with Omeprazole.
Ok and take care.
