Yes he is aware of my symptoms but feels it isn’t related to prednisone or tapering. He said if it persists to see a gastroenterologist. From my research I felt it was related and wondered if anyone else had the same issue. Apparently they have . Thanks

Not playing doc here, but…It would seem that a lab test for morning cortisol levels would clarify the issue.

Gastric problems are a known side effect of prednisone, with or without adrenal insufficiency. That's why they say prednisone should always be taken with food. Some people get gastric problems from prednisone even when they do take the meds with food. It may not be connected to tapering.
