Has anyone experienced GI symptoms from daily steroid inhalers?

I have been experiencing some gastrointestinal issues recently after being on ICS for a year. My doctor thinks it could be diverticulitis and she is not ruling out my inhaler as a cause. Has anyone else experienced this? I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts.

  1. I'm sorry to hear that you are dealing with GI issues. Did you symptoms begin directly after starting an ICS? I hope that other members of the community chime in. In the meantime, I'm linking an article that discusses different side effects of ICS. I hope that this is helpful. Inhaled Corticosteroids and Asthma: How do They Work? -Lauren (team member)
