Posted By Alison (Houston, Tx) on 08/02/2012

I took 800mg of ibuprofen once a day for pain for the last four days this morning I had a severe pain where I could not get up because of my pain in my stomach was so bad now I think I cause damage than good. Can you recommend something that would help?

Ibuprofen (Advil) and Aspirin is bad for the stomach lining. Take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) if you have stomach issues.

Take pure slippery elm powder as per instuctions on the pack as it has to be cooked first. It's excellent for rebuilding any stomach problems. It is also very nourishing and good for many other ailments too. It kept me alive when I couldn't eat after a major stomach operation, and sped up the healing time too. Love Andrea c xxxxxxx
