Hi.
Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
Both Prednisone and Kevzara list diverticulosis as a side-effect.
Pick your poison.
I picked both.
My PCP put me on Omeprazole the same day he started me on Prednisone. I asked why and he said, “to save your gut.” I take it every morning an hour before I take Prednisone. I’m taking Kevzara and tapering Prednisone. I don’t feel any problem and I trust the Omeprazole it’s doing it’s job and protecting my gut. Time will tell.
Are you taking anything to protect your gut?

@stonewheel I'm on omeprazol 40mg 2x a day. But have been on it for years. Reflux,

Hi @stonewheel
My physician prescribed pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor to reduce stomach acid, like omeprazole. When your doctor said gut, I think he meant stomach, not intestines.
