NSAIDs and IBS

Ibuprofen is categorized under a class of drugs known as NSAIDs, which stands for Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs. In addition to ibuprofen, NSAIDs also include Naproxen (usually known under the brand name, Aleve), diclofenac, and even aspirin. Unfortunately, these drugs can instigate GI symptoms in IBS patients (or some researchers posit, even contribute to the development of IBS itself).

We want to know, do you take NSAIDs?
