ibuprofen

Avatar f tn s or IBS related. As well, I use to take ibuprofen for the pain but I now know that particular anti-inflammatory creates ulcers and bleeding in our intestines! In fact the pictures from a prior year colonoscopy were outright rejected because I had been consuming ibuprofen periodically... I was diagnosed with Crohn's in the days when no one had decided to invent the catch-all phrase "Intestinal Bowel Syndrome".
Avatar m tn The pain and the bowel symptoms could be due to IBS. But IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion, i.e. once all other diseases of the colon like colitis, infections, tumors etc. have been ruled out, then the diagnosis of IBS is made. Please consult your doctor, who may ask for blood tests and sometimes a colonoscopy to rule out these conditions. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
681148 tn?1437661591 The nephrologist confirmed this to be so when I asked about using Ibuprofen temporarily. He also said that an entirely different kind of medication is used for colitis that is not an NSAIDs. Something in the back of my mind keeps telling me that NSAIDs aren't really good for the colon either. I had asked about temporarily using the Ibuprofen 'til my appointment with my PCP. Basically, he said it's not a good idea. That's what I thought he was going to say.
Avatar m tn I think, personally, that was wrong of them to tell you that IBS leads to cancer, but it can occur as it can occur with any prolonged inflamation that isn't being controlled. I can tell from the medications you listed that you are someplace in EU... It appears they "are" treating you for IBS with an intestinal sedative, a fiber substitute, and something for excess stomach acid. Regardless if you are in America, EU, Canada, et al...
Avatar f tn but everything came back normal and negative and clear (for which I am grateful) but now they say its IBS and all the medications they have tried me on before don't work at all....yet when I take an Ibuprofen for the pain it works on an off, so are there any nerves or inflammation conditions of the stomach that I am not aware of yet?
Avatar m tn hi everyone , im 24 male and have been having alot of stomach / intestine problems for about 6months , my doctor thinks its ibs and a stomach ulcer but any ibs treatment i,e antispasmodics he gives me makes everything werse , i disagree that i may have ibs because i have been using alot of pain medicine since june 2009 i,e codiene , tramadol ,ibuprofen and amitrtiptyline for a nerve condition i have so i believe that it could be something else , my gp is reluctant to reffer me to a specialist or
Avatar m tn Irritable bowel syndrome is a big old pain to deal with. Common treatment today is with medication but also lifestyle changes involving diet, trying to cut down on stress, avoiding trigger foods, getting rest, exercise, etc. Were you diagnosed officially with IBS? I guess they told you to take ibuprofen for inflammation and pain? That's fairly common but it's not a treatment for IBS. There are a lot of medications these days specifically for IBS.
Avatar f tn Is 3-6 200mg Ibuprofen a day for a 3-6 days a week bad for you over a long period of time?
3122657 tn?1357432602 Ibuprofen is bad for our livers. Try getting a massage if you can. Bromelian, a natural supplement made from pineapples helps reduce swelling but it takes time to work. Also, make sure you're drinking lots of water, and getting some exercise. Try some yoga too. Pot brownies worked the best for my back pain.
Avatar f tn Has anyone heard of any reactions to ibuprofen while pregnant?
Avatar f tn is it safe to take ibuprofen when pregnant? Just once? Ran out of tylenol.
1386405 tn?1291587800 ok I just read online that you are not suppose to take ibuprofen while you are pregnant again im 5 weeks i took total of seven not all together of course over say a period of maybe two days due to a severe toothache did i do something stupid is my baby going to be ok.
Avatar m tn whenever i take even one 550mg (naproxen) ibuprofen and then drink, my stomach gets tender and bloated and i feel bad. i usually take a maalox or something like that, yet i never throw up from it so i don't know if that's applicable for you. i think it is due to the ibuprofen, but if you're not used to eating spicy foods then it could have disagreed with you, not necessarily meaning food poisoning. you should never drink and take NSAIDs at the same time.
Avatar f tn My doctor said that ibuprofen is a big no no but then again it is only one time and many have taken it before knowing they were pregnant i am sure u and ur baby will be fine just try not to have it next time.
Avatar f tn No please no..
7923170 tn?1412999504 21 years old. Pregnant with second baby currently 11 weeks. Im currently taking Lovenox shots n my prenatal the passed 2 weeks have had headaches... Is it OK to take ibuprofen if I don't have tylenol available at the time.
Avatar f tn I had a really bad headache yesterday and took 6 200mg ibuprofen tablets ( 2 every 4 hours 3 times) and then I found out today your not suppose to take ibuprofen. I'm really worried, will everything be okay?
7758733 tn?1402589420 Killer headaches, and never any Tylenol around. Ibuprofen can't be that bad huh? Got to go to work and this headache must go.
Avatar f tn Is it true you shouldn't take ibuprofen it can harm the baby? I just seen this today while doing research as to this is my first. i have been taking it before I found out I was thinking my period was coming and I've always had bad cramps so I know to start taking it before my period comes to help with the pain. Should I be worried that I've harmed the baby from taking it? I'm 5 weeks BTW.
Avatar f tn I don't know if I'm pregnant or not but If I am can Ibuprofen harm my child during early stages of pregnancy?
Avatar n tn I've been having very bad tooth aches. I used to take ibuprofen & it stop the pain almost immediately. I'm 7 weeks. Can I take 1?
