Abdominal discomfort, bloating and acid reflux

My situation is milder than yours but I've noticed it as well. I've been on preds for 17 months now, starting at 20 and it's been up and down since. Currently at 17 and the rheumatologist added Methotrexate 3 weeks ago, hoping for a smoother taper this time. I can control acid reflux if I stay COMPLETELY away from alcohol and anything vaguely rich (butter, oils). But gas wakes me at night. Yet another reason to get off the preds, but only as fast as we can go!

I am not on steroids, but I do have acid reflux. I take Pepcid Max once a day and it works well. Used to take PPI's but after all the controversy, I stopped those.
Instead of steroids, you might want to consider LDN. Lots of people and docs are turning towards this much milder medication that has been around for decades for other purposes. My daughter takes it for long covid and it has turned her life around. Recommended by her amazing doc at Mt Sinai Hospital in NYC. She also prescribed it for me.

Make sure to read the info in "Files."
Good luck.
