How to address PMR pain while decreasing prednisone

Since I take my largest dose, 10mg , in the morning and 5mg at night I was wondering what people ate in the morning that is substantial enough for the prednisone and your stomach. I was just eating 3 peanut butter sandwiches but I see everywhere that wheat can be inflammatory and I would like to be on an anti inflammatory diet. Thanks

Hi Roger @rogernj67, I've never had a stomach issue with prednisone but I normally just take my morning pills with fat free milk and have a banana or some somewhat healthy cereal for breakfast...usually a half to a cups worth with milk. In the past I used to make breakfast smoothies with kale, spinach and other goodies that would generally get me through until lunch time. I also did some juicing for awhile but it turned out to be a little more work than I wanted to do. There is a discussion that may be helpful here:

Juicing - Why would I want to try it?

There are a lot of smoothie recipes around that are pretty tasty, healthy and filling for breakfast. Also, some specifically for anti -inflammatory diets.
