I am taking prednisone from a bad cough and heard to eat before taking the drug. I have a piece of toast with marmalade. But if I take milk to counteract the upset stomach instead, how much milk is necessary?

Can you eat something more substantial than toast and marmalade? Add an egg or have a bowl of oatmeal? Pharmacist told me prednisone is hard on the stomach, so I eat lots before I take my pills in the morning - oatmeal with yogurt and nuts, fruit and a latte - half coffee, half milk. So far, I haven't had any problems with an upset stomach. Maybe have milk with toast and marmalade?
