How's your stomach? From my reading Nsaids and antibiotics (I'm taking both) are bad for those with R/A that might be caused by leaky gut....i.e. intestinal permiability problems (which I'm starting to believe is MY problem.) My doc has me taking DGL to help with the stomach problem. And, I'm trying to take Naproxen once every 4 days.....I'm not much fun after the 2nd day!
How's my stomach? FAT! LOL!
Serious: I make sure to take my meds with food so I don't have stomach problems. When I was first diagnosed with R/A my R-Factor was 289. I was put on Prednasone and Methothrexate. The Methothrexate did not play nice with my heart meds and I spent 2 days in the heart floor of the hospital. Now I take Prednasone with Sulfazine EC to treat the R/A, and Naproxen with Tylenol twice a day to keep the pain in check.
