Arthritis Painkillers and How They can Kill You

By Needful Things

So you have arthritis. Somehow you have learned that aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen offer fast relief from the constant nagging pain. But beware these highly effective medicines are also effective in battering your digestive tract causing bleeding and even perforations.

Medical practitioners call these drugs NSAID or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. They are the most commonly used drugs in combating arthritis. Stronger prescription versions are indomethacin, nabumetone,diclofenac, piroxicam and oxyprozin.

Be aware that although these drugs are highly effective in dulling arthritic pain, in the long run they aggravate the the disease they are supposed to combat. In the case of arthritis they tend to accelerate the destruction of joint tissue.

Apart from enduring the pain, normal people have no choice but to take these NSAID drugs to alleviate the pain. If this is the case, then certain steps should be taken to protect the gastrointestinal tract.

Glutamine is the secret. This amino acid is the primary catalyst or fuel for the lining of the small intestine. Know that the small intestine is where NSAIDs do the most damage.

So everytime there is a need to take a aspirin or ibuprofen or any NSAID... try drinking 30 minutes before filtered water with 2 to 4 grams of powdered glutamine. This should become a habit as long as NSAIDs are taken.

So the next time you have muscle pain... think again before popping those pills.
