You should always discuss any concerns about drug interactions you have with your doctor &/or pharmacist. That said, the above website demonstrates that while one 20 mg tablet is the "normal" dosage for GERD, many people take higher dosages. It also lists drug interaction precautions and Prednisone is not on the list to be concerned about.
Get the book "Natural Alternatives to Nexium, Maalox, Tagament, Prilosec, and other Acid Blockers" by Martie Whittekin, CCN -- Amazon, Bamm, Barnes and Nobles, etc.
She recommends the probiotic Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics 12 Plus. It cured my acid reflux. I took Prevacid and Prilosec for over eight years. I am no longer taking these drugs and can not remember when I have felt this good. I am 55 years old.
Martie also has a internet radio show, www.RadioMartie.com, so check her out. If you like what you hear and the remedy works for you, spread the word. There are so many people who need this information.
I hope this helps.
