Steroids and stomach problems?

I've been having stomach problems for a few weeks, mainly due to mixing anti-biotics, anti-inflammatories, and alcohol. I was hoping to begin a test, deca, d-bol cycle this week, but should I hold off? Do orals affect the stomach any?
 
Well one doctor gave me an anti-biotic and another gave me an anti-inflammatory for my thumb. And neither of them said not to take with alcohol, but I should have known better.
 
That sucks bro. I would hold off until off the pharm drugs for two reasons. If you can't eat because your stomach is upset, the cycle is a waste, and NSAIDs have been shown in studies to impede the muscle building process.

What happened to your thumb?
 
Orals like dbol and anadrol upset my stomach almost every time I use them.
 
It was doxycycline or some such. My dermatologist gave it to me. And I have tendonitis in my thumb, so the anti-inflammatories were for that.
 
ok bro dont do antibiotics and alch for 1, secondly yes some stuff will make it more sensitve, sometimes (esp last cyc) I will get nausous every morning that was with at first test eq tren drol igf than later test sust eq tren bol clen var gh
 
Doxycycline is extremely harsh on your stomach. Its best to take with at least 8oz water at least an hr before or 2 hrs after a meal. Drink a pile of water throughout the day and should help
But bad part is adding the nsaids....also hard on the stomach. Gotta decide whats worse: the stomach aches or the thumb lol
 
You'll definitely want to hold off on the alcohol when you get on cycle due to the risk of getting jaundice or however it's spelled. But like everyone else has said, I'd hold off until you're all good and healthy

I don't believe that nsaids impede muscle building at all. Everyone I know that lifts seriously eat aleve's like candy and we all have no probs building muscle.
 
Would I be okay going back on the test and maybe the deca, without the d-bol?
 
Nsaids thin your blood some. Ive seen people bruise from hard workouts if they r taking them regularly

Well believe what you want but the whole purpose of NSAIDs is to reduce inflammation, which is actually a necessary part of the muscle building process. Studies have shown that NSAID reduce muscle protein synthesis and muscular growth. A study done by Appalachian State University also showed that NSAIDs taken before a strenuous workout increased oxidative stress in the body. That not only has a negative effect on muscle growth but on your overall health as well. I would avoid them at all costs and if you MUST take them, take a health dose of Vitamin C (anti-oxidant) with it, 1-2g.

Just because you are still able to put on muscle doesn't mean you are putting on the optimal amount of muscle that you would if all conditions in your body were right;)
 
once you come off the antibiotics you should be fine

the orals really can make you feel like shit depending on what kind your on and how your body reacts to it
