    Has your doctor considered taking a look at your stomach or sending you to a gastroenterologist?  Prednisone is know to cause ulcers.  I have ulcers, this is why I'm mentioning the issue.  My Rheumatologist advised to always take Prednisone with food, too.  So sorry you are having this trial.

    I was only asked for liver function analyzes and the result was normal

    Describe me Pantoprazole and also gaviscon

    The reason for taking prednisolone is due to the process of thymus and not rheumatism

    Now take prednisolone 5mg between day and day

    You are not really on the right forum here - we all take pred for a rheumatological problem. I don't really understand what you are trying to say to be honest - but at 5mg pred you shouldn't really have many problems due to that.
