Cause stomach symptoms and conditions

Does Bextra cause stomach or gastrointestinal bleeding? I have ITP with 83,000 platelet count.

I have had moderate to severe pain in my hip due to joint deformity and subsequent deterioration and arthritis. I am unable to take even one dose of any NSAIDs as they cause stomach bleeding. Ten months ago a doctor prescribed Ultracet for me and it has provided tremendous pain relief for me. However, one of the side effects that I first noticed was it aggravated neck pain that I had from a couple of degenerated disks. I couldn't figure that out until a few months later when I read the Ultracet could cause muscle tightness. That explained that, and that finally subsided in the last few months. I had some of the side effects others described the first couple of days but then they subsided. I find that if I stick with just one tablet nstead of the two prescribed, I don't have all of the central nervous system reaction that some describe...nerve twitching, itching, sleeplessness and agitation, but if I take 2 at a time, I have all of the above. I always take one in the morning and usually don't have to take another the rest of the day unless I overdo. Sometimes I will need to take more doses but I take it knowing that I will be itching and agitated. I have had a couple of doctors since that have had bad experiences with Ultracet personally, and they always try to switch me to a narcotic. I have not had any decrease in effectiveness or increased need or dependency, but I also figure that if I only take my one in the morning on a normal basis, and only supplement as needed, I won't have problems with addiction.

For people having stomach problems: There is a brand name of doxycycline called "Doryx" that is enteric coated so that it goes through the stomach and dissolves in the intestine instead, so that it doesn't cause stomach symptoms. Ask your doctor to switch to "Doryx".

With regard to diarrhea, I would recommend going to your local health food/supplement shop and picking up a probiotic like acidophilus in the refrigerated section (or perhaps a combination product with different probiotics). This will help to replenish "friendly" bacteria in the intestinal tract and prevent diarrhea if you take it at least twice daily. Just be sure to take it far away from your doxy dose.

With regard to thrush and yeast overgrowth, ask your doctor for some Nystatin. Nystatin is a very, very non-toxic anti-fungal with virtually no side effects most of the time. It is not absorbed from the intestinal tract. It is used to clear yeasts like candida from the mouth and digestive tract. It comes in both tablets and powder. If purchased in tabs, be sure to chew the tablets and swish the contents around in the mouth before swallowing.

does this cause stomach pain

seems like when I take it it helps , but my stomach bloats way out..I have the bloating alot before taking it as well...Does Kutrase have stuff in it that will cause stomach burning? Do you need to stay on it for awhile to really tell if it will help?

Just wanted to tell you all that it was confirmed in a British Television news feature that "Ace Inhibitors" - in other words Lisinopril CAN cause stomach upsets. Date Nov. 11, 2003. The news article was about a new, as yet unlicensed drug that allegedly will not have any such side effects.
