Stomach virus and getting the pred in?

Hi all...there's a stomach virus making its way through our house and this morning I woke up feeling nauseous and I have crampy D (I don't think it's UC D).

I'm on pred...do I go ahead and try to take it? I know I need my dosage...and if it were to come back up??

Strange things to deal with sometimes....

Definetly take very high dose probiotics. Pred is not enteric coated so you could theoretically smash it into powder where hopefully it will get absorbed before throwing up. If you happen to throw it up you could just take more, either a partial dose or even a full dose. Worst case scenario is you take 80 mgs instead of 40 (or whatever dose you are on). That's not going to kill you and just a couple of doses isn't going to require you to start tapering from that higher dosage.

Theres definitely no question, you cant stop pred no matter what. That can lead to a whole host of problems.
