Yes, my Rhumie declares it doesn't hurt the stomach but I can be in bad GUT trouble after only a few.........even the coated ones. I hate it because they really, really help me, but I can't go through the gut trouble...it makes me toooo much sicker.

ANYTHING can hurt ANYBODY................they (docs) don't have all the answers that they think they do. This rheumie has just put me through a terrible terrible time with my gut, with Lodine and Glucosamine.

I think I'm leaving the Rheumys and going back to the Internal Doc or a Naturpathist...........or whatever the word is that works with meds and alternatives. Can't pull up the name right now.............you know how that is............... :rolleyes:
