2 articles on Ibuprofen and glucosamine

[EAMom]

1) article on how giving glucosamine might help protect against ulcers (from Ibuprofen)

any more info./articles on using glucosamine to protect gi tract would be welcome (it's a hard thing to google)

 

2) a separate article on how glucosamine acts synergistically with ibuprofen for more effective pain relief. I wonder if this synergy also works applies to PANDAS symptoms?

Be aware that glucosamine is derived from shellfish (in case anyone has allergies).

Thank you. My dd12 recently stopped taking her daily dose of ibuprofen. I have been worried about the side effects. If she needs to return to regular ibuprofen use again I will be sure to add glucosamine to her regimen as well.

 

Has anyone had any anti-inflammatory success with the natural alternative phytoprofen?
