Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Well, for the most part we can take pretty much what everyone else takes other than Ibuprofen. But every surgeon is different, obviously. My surgeon says absolutely no Ibuprofen. I also found out that potassium pills will cause ulcers in anyone, and would be that much worse for us gastric patients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Until recently, from this list, I never knew I shouldn't take ibuprofen. I've taken it at 800 mg for 20 years without any problems at all. Since I got my gall bladder taken out, I seem to have a cast iron stomach. I still watch the food I put in it, but I've never had any problems with any meds I've taken.
