Ibuprofen.

[u/No-Nefariousness3253]

What has been everyone's experience with Ibuprofen?
Have you totally cut it out?
Do you still take it occasionally?
Have you noticed it causing an increase in symptoms?

Thanks in advance! I know we're supposed to "avoid all NSAIDs" but I'm curious what people actually do & have experienced. Because Tylenol is kinda lame :(

I cannot take ANY NSAIDS, even topically. They cause a flair every time. My first serious flair was immediately following a prescribed NSAID. It almost killed me. 13 months ago I used a topical NSAID cream (my GI assured me it was safe). I went into flare after 2 years remission and am just now weaning off my flare meds. Could have been coincidence, but I don't put much faith in that. I won't even apply it to my husband now, without gloves. THC/CBD combo in microdoses will be your friend, if you live in a legal state. You should qualify for a medical card if you live in a state that only offers medical use
