    Long term Steroid use can cause Stomach problems, he may benefit from the use of a medication to help protect his Stomach, he needs to talk to his GP about it smile

    I've been on them for 18 years and have always had the enteric coated ones to protect my stomach. Does he take these? they are coated to protect stomach. Dont think they prescribe unless you ask as they cost the nhs more. I demand them! x
