I've never had that one giraffe (on long term pred and often high doses) Never heard of it either. Occasionally I do get stomach problems or increased reflux on it though so it's a possibility it could cause something to this effect. Sorry not much help and no suggestions but hope you feel better soon.

Got diarrhea (sp) as well now Blush it does say in the list of side effects that indigestion is one.

I have that one sometimes, but not constantly on steroids, also a vile bitter taste in my mouth.
No diarrhoea though.

I think so, it can cause all manner of intestinal distress. It makes me vomit :(

Burping stopped now thank god - that was antisocial! Kept spraying perfume around me which doesnt really help with the breathing!
