Glucosamine and gas

Common Questions and Answers about Glucosamine and gas

glucosamine

I was prescribed to take glucosamine & chondroitin by my doctor after knee cap arthroscopy. Just wonder if it does help ? I often experience excessive gas in my intestine where I feel as though my abdomen is swollen & gas is inside it. Is it the side effect of taking glucosamine & chondroitin ?....

i have been passing foul-smelling gas and stools for a few months now. i eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, exercise plenty, drink plenty of water and take multi-vitamins, glucosamine and cod liver oil daily. i am 25 years old and am not a vegetarian or vegan. what is likely to be the cause of this problem?

Chance are, if you have healthy joints, the cracking sound is the result of gas escaping as you move your joint. Another cause can be ligaments moving across your joints and "snapping" back into position. If you have arthritis, it is possible that the sound comes from the rough joint surface if you have lost cartilage.

Start taking Glucosamine, with MSM. This will help in your pain and will not have ther side affects of Anti-inflammatory med. I would not advise Celebrex if your Rheumatologist suggest. My 2 cents.

Tramidol is not recommended to be given in dogs with a history of kidney disease, liver disease, seizure disorders and lung problems. Tramidol side effects may include sedation, anxiety, bloating and gas, constipation, convulsive movements, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, hallucinations, indigestion, itching, nausea, nervousness, tremors, vomiting and weakness.

Interesting. If it would work, I would put up with the gas. LOL.

Balch's advice in Nutrional Healing, I have begun taking kelp capsules. I also take glucosamine, 1,000 mg. of C and bioflavonoids, a potent B complex/multi vitamin supplement, 400 IU of E, calcium with D and a little magnesium, 200 mg of selenium and an estrogen replacement tablet. COULD ANY OF THESE be causing the daily bouts with very loose bowels, cramping, frequent gas and the need to belch? I have tried omitting mild products, reducing wheat intake, eliminting most sugar, etc.

I don't think any of these interact, but ... I am again taking fish oil and glucosamine in the morning, but that's for joint pain, not for my heart.. but I'll take it if it helps the heart too. None of the above cause me any digestive problems.

I am 39 years old and had scoliosis repair in 1982 in Savannah, GA. I will have to research the records to see what parts of my spine were fused with the Harrington rod. I have since given birth via C-section to 3 sons and have been a very active adult. I run around 28 miles/week and have taught aerobics for years. I also am a speech therapist for the Preschool population. I have been fine up until the last few months.

As long as you are not allergic to seafood or shellfish you should consider trying a Glucosamine (and Chrondroiton if you can because they work really well together but can be $$$ AND it is shark cartilage so some may have a moral objection) supplement for your athritis. It usually takes 6 to 8 weeks or more for the Glucosamine supplements to do their job so persist and be patient. These supplements help rebuild the cushioning between joints. Search it.

A new study just published confirms high quality nutritional supplements containing glucosamine and chondroitin are the right combination for effective pain relief.

I also have gas problem. could the gas problem the source or result of this mid back pain. I have mild internal hemmarroids. I get some times bleeding when I pass motion. Is my mid back pain leading to osteoarthritis? should glucosamine tablets (vitamins) help me in the long run? can my mid back pain is fixable or not? am I in a very bad shape currently.

Number 1 is to stop drinking( 2 drinks aday),which I have been doing for about 5 years now. I have been taken omega3/omega6,,Centrum multivitamin and Glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM. Not because of my HCV,this is something I've been doing for years (healthnut). Do taken these supplements put undue stress on the liver or make my condition bad??

I have shredded cartilage in my left knee, too much of which was cleaned out during a revision reconstruction of my ACL, my knee hurts most of the time. I take glucosamine sulfate, which helps some, and every once in a while I get viscosupplemention injections in my knees, like Synvisc, only I use Euflexxa. That can help a lot. I will need a total knee replacement, but they say I'm too young. I also have a lot going on, but I won't highjack your post with my stuff.

My dog's do like veggies, even though they get bad dog gas!!! I will keep doing my research, let's keep the suggestions rolling in! Thanks everyone for your input.

3 weeks ago I began to have symptoms again, a lot of gas with the passing of muccus. When the symptoms began I was passing gas a lot and a lot of muccos. So much, that I stopped just randomly crop dusting and headed to the bathroom every time for fear I may pass muccus. I am not having joint pain like before, just slight twinges of passing pain, but not extreme and no swelling and very rare.

Also should I just try and continue it as long as I can, or give up now and wait for other drugs? Also do any of you guys have severe gas, nausea and vomiting while on tx? Any info would be helpful.

In my mind, it's the same difference in taking your car to the corner gas station for an oil change vs taking the car to a trained mechanic to be sure the whole car is running properly and to anticipate problems. Costs more to go to the mechanic, but they might pick up on things the gas station guy doesn't. What's the old saying ... 'the eyes are the mirror of the soul' -- and also reveal much about one's health.

Leslee has that pain in her siatic area also, we kinda figure it is actullay the hip joints, she is going to ask about taking glucosamine. did a little research and found this is a very comman complaint of chemo , the drugs harm the lubricant between the bones, in the hips. the Siatic nerve runs through, right on and near the hip socket.

and yea right now i am trying all the options i can before i take any kind of narcotic pain meds and so far i havent found anything to help especially at night with sleep my doc wrote me a script for ambien and i gave it back because i just dont like the idea of a med knocking me out like that and i know those are just as addictive as pain meds cause i have heard horror stories bout them heck one of my cousins took one his doc prescribed him and now his wife has a video of him that night running

Took him to the vet who did a senior blood panel that showed nothing serious.They recommended a joint support (glucosamine, msm comb) and an RX of Tramadol. Then in January he started drinking more water. When symptoms of anxiety, needing to go outside frequently, (including midde of night), appearing confused, eating more-we took back to vet. New blood panel showed raised levels (sorry, can't remember what) that indicated Cushings as possibility.

I hope it is nothing serious, and the mystery is solved. If it happens to be arthritis, then a Glucosamine/Chondroitin supplement can work wonders. I hope things work ok for her.

While not generally well-known or understood, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause a variety of muscle or joint-related symptoms. Hypothyroidism can create a variety of muscle and joint-related symptoms. Most commonly, these symptoms are due to swelling of the muscles, or swelling that is pressing on nerves.

they can then adjust the meds to suit so u get enough.ive had a GA while on mdone maintenence and i was asked several times what my dose was and if i had supplemented this with illicits.i was honest and had no complications.as far as getting adequate pain relief this should not b a problem.they will most likely titrate yr dose,after surgery,until u are comfortable.this is standard medical protocol.u will b fine.

Here's a bit a trivia for you. When my dad was stationed at Ft. Benning, GA. I actually met John Wayne while he was filming Green Berets!!!! Cool, huh?

Just to throw this out there, amalgam fillings (metal fillings) carry mercury that is absorbed through tissues in your mouth, and can also be breathed in through lungs. This mercury is changed into a highly toxic gas by candida. This, if she has metal fillings, is also exacerbating the problem. So my recommendations would be 1. Remove metal fillings (if she has them) 2.
