I did switch to a non-multi suppliment so now I take sublingual B12 (changed from Cyanocobalamin to Methylcobalamin) at 2000mcu per day, a B6 (800) and a Folic separate and still am sick. So not sure if it is the B/Folic or the Pred so wanted to see if anyone else had stomach upset on the B.
Oh, I should mention that I am sick to my stomach in the morning before I take the suppliments so I am probably barking up the wrong "what is making me sick" tree... but wanted to check.
Thanks,
dave

A few observations:
1) Prednisone can cause gastritis and ulcers. Could be the Pred.
2) 800mg of B6? This is way too much. Is this a mistake, a typo? 50mg is enough of this daily.
Some people get reflux or heartburn from high dose B-complex.
If you take your B12 separately, take it alone on the empty stomach. It has no negative effects. Then take the other Bs after a meal, preferably early in the day (they energize some people).
Many people on prednisone develop gastric irritations. It is best to get that checked out by a doctor.
