Pages: 1 Glucosamine Chondroitin       #77218 - 06/08/04 02:17 PM Edit Reply Quote roanra Reged: 03/19/03 Posts: 5 Well I did it again! I have been having joint problems with hands, knees etc. so Dr. told me to take Glucosamine with Chondroitin. He knows I have IBS and didn't think it should bother me at all. I took 1 at dinnertime and another at breakfast. Now I have full IBS symptoms and am miserable. I'm in the "I don't know what to eat or drink" stage of feeling the terrible bloat,pressure and yuckey stomach syndrome. I guess I will have to just wait it out. Has anyone taken this medication?

Did you take it on a full stomach? Get yourself stable again, and then maybe try it once more to see if it was just a coincidence. This stuff really can help with joint pain - it would be great if you can find a version or way to take it without affecting your IBS. - Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.

I thought maybe it was the latter?

I also have IBS and i take it every once in a while when i remember (whoops) and it hasn't seemed to bother me. I've never taken it with the chondroitin before tho. Good luck! I'd say try it again just in case it was a coincedence that u got sick right after starting it.

He's one of the top orthopedic surgeons in NYC and has won all kinds of awards. My husband on the other hand swears by it, but doesn't have IBS. -------------------- Laura Keep it simple!
