Anti-inflammatory drugs

[djrecruiter]

I have now had the chance to read more of the threads on the site and wanted to ask other members about the effects of taking anti-inflammatory drugs. I did very well in the first week but in the second I put 2lbs back on. It was in the second week that I had to take the drugs and I wondered if anyone else had experienced similar problems whilst taking these drugs?

I also take Glucosamine Sulphate for my knees and, again, the same question-has anyone experienced problems with this supplement?

Finally if you have not read it can I recommend you take a look at the article named "why the scales can lie" by Perry. I found it fascinating and it gave me some piece of mind.

Good luck to everyone and I look forward to receiving replies.

Re: Anti-inflammatory drugs

Anti-inflammatory meds like Motrin, Alieve, and the like do not cause weight gain, to the best of my knowledge. Steroids for inflammatory use, like prednisone, can cause weight gain however.

Glucosamine Sulfate has very few side effects, which is why its recommended by many health professionals.

Are you taking the tablet version or the liquid version (which has sugar)?

DJ, I've not hear any of those could cause problems, but if you weren't feeling well, possibly you didn't eat right, didn't get your water in etc.

Just for shits and giggles you might want to post your menu and see if the experts can see anything that you can't
