Hey Everyone,
Just wondering, does anyone on here take NSAIDS (Advil, Naproxen etc) and if so, how do they find it affects their stomach? I keep hearing how bad they are for your tummy and I wonder if that may be part of the reason I've been having so many problems despite being very good about following the new diet. My doctor thinks it can't be helping, but we haven't been able to find anything else that helps me. I have to take Naproxen for my Endometriosis and when it's bad I take 375mg every 5 hours or so, often without food because my stomach is so upset I can't eat...could that be causing symptoms like IBS problems?
Anyone have any suggestions for either how to make your stomach tolerate these types of drugs better or other painkillers that are a bit more tummy friendly?
Thanks!
Kelly
