Abdominal discomfort, bloating and acid reflux

Sorry you're experiencing these digestive and gastric issues. From what I've read on what I feel are trustworthy sources, steroids can cause problems in this area, including ulcers and aggravating reflux.
What are you doing for the acid reflux?
If this continues, I'd ask for an endoscopy and CT scan (high radiation tho).
Best of luck to you.

Thank you for reaching out. I am currently taking daily 40mg of Pantoprazole, an acid suppressant, and chew on antacids when the reflux happens. I have started eating smaller meals , cut out wine and sweets and salty treats. Fingers crossed it helps until my visit to the rheumatologist early March.
