That was lucky. I've read so many warnings about making sure to take it with or after food or milk that it's not something I'd risk. The Mayo prednisone info says "Take this medicine with food or milk to avoid stomach irritation" and my prescription bottles say "Take as directed with food."

I agree with @megz on this one. Prednisone can cause terrible gastro distress if taken on an empty stomach unless it is an enteric version. I was also one of those weird PMR patients that required 25 mg of Prednisone before all of my hip and shoulder pain was gone. Some folks do just need more. Blessings! ❤️

Guess I've got an iron clad stomach! I take my dose practically before my eyes are open.
At first, I'd do the penguin walk into the kitchen and take my Prednisone before I did ANYTHING else. Then I'd fix a bowl of oatmeal and fruit.
Thankful that it has never irritated me.
