Re: Meds and stomach upset

[Guest guest]

I don't want a stomach ache on top of everything else. I always take

mine with milk and try to have something to eat with them. I remember

when my parents drove me down to see a 2nd opinion in SLC after my

surgery last summer and I had to take pills and didn't have any food

or milk. I got the worst stomach pain from that and we made it a

point to stop and get something and keep it on hand after that. I

don't ever want to go thru that again if I don't have to. Even though

all of mine do not say to take with food I do. At least a sip a milk

if I can't eat right away. I even had one once that said don't take

with grapfruit juice. I would follow the directions on the bottle to

avoid any stomach problems or other problems for sure.

Just a few of my thoughts on it.

Hoping for low pain days for everyone,

Katrina :-)
