Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Sorry to jump in so much and with such a topic but maybe someone will be interested. I have had a lot of gastrointestinal problems since I developed RA and I think some of them are caused by NSAIDS and Methotrexate. The worst nsaid I ever took was Indocid - Indomethacin I think, which was early in my disease. I had my gall bladder out a few years ago as part of this set of problems and the gastro diagnosed IBS. It was getting to the point a month ago that I tried to make an appointment with a dietician to get a diet I could tolerate as I was losing weight because of this and feeling awful. She said the first thing to do was have a Hydrogen Breath Test for lactose intolerance. Anyway that was the day I started drinking lactose free milk and though I haven't had the test the improvement is amazing. I guess I just have developed this intolerance through aging. So it's something to try if your digestion keeps getting worse. It can't hurt Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
