I find when I'm reducing my steroids, my tummy goes to pot, alternating between constipation and diarrhoea. Not fun. The only thing I can suggest is keep fluid intake up, and take some laxatives/anti diarrhoea capsules if it gets too bad.

I get this at that point, I also get aches, headaches and feel very sick. It is apparently normal as body adjusts. No useful advice about what to do though. Well done on reduction. My steroids went up today!
