Re: NSAIDs and Intestinal Damage       03/09/08 08:38 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA NSAIDs including aspirin and Ibuprofen may but not always irritate the GI tract, usually the duodenum or stomach. The risk increases with the dose, amount of time they are taken and the type of NSAID taken. NSAIDs may increase IBS symptoms but not likely cause them. IBS is not new. It has been with us for centuries it use to be called spastic colon. The frequency of occurrence around the world is about the same. The reasons it effects more women than men is still a mystery. It surely cannot hurt to quite taking NSAIDs and see that reduces any of your IBS symptoms. However, NSAIDs tend to affect the upper GI tract and not the colon where most IBS problems occur. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
