Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 , Almost from the moment I went on Arava, stomach and acid reflux problems began. Nexium has helped, but it is far from a panacea. I'm now on Humira injections along with Arava but some stomach " issues " persist. Kathy Has anyone who is/was on Arava have stomach problems? I seem to have an ongoing irritation. My Internist changed my acid reflux med to see if that would help and I don't think it is doing much. With all the meds we take it's hard to pin down the cause of any secondary symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 , I take arava and have no stomach upset other than being much hungrier than when I don't take it. I hope you get to the bottom of it. Cheri [ ] Stomach pains Has anyone who is/was on Arava have stomach problems? I seem to have an ongoing irritation. My Internist changed my acid reflux med to see if that would help and I don't think it is doing much. With all the meds we take it's hard to pin down the cause of any secondary symptoms. Also, is anyone on Enbrel who has a fairly mild case of PA? I have no permanent damage but I've had the disease for quite a while and nothing seems to keep the pain at bay for more than a couple of years.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Has anyone out there had a child suffer from stomach pains after beginning GAPS? We're ending our 7th week and our youngest son often has stomach aches. We're eating broths/soups, cooked veggies and fruits, eggs and 24-hour kefir. We've not been able to trace it to any food source except maybe eggs (it's hit or miss, but seems to match most with eggs - anybody ever heard of this?). He's never had a problem with foods, even eggs, before and we raise our own eggs and have always eaten lots. As far as the kefir goes, the stomach aches began before we started eating it. His stools are usually within the normal range, but the pains don't seem to correspond to any irregularities. He takes 6 Biokult a day (his recommended amount at our current stage) and I think I'm going to cut him back. Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks!
