SCD Legal Pain Releif?

Rate this topic

I am sitting here with a THROBBING headache and afraid to use an over

the counter pain reliever for fear that it will have starch or other

illegal binders in it. Can anyone recommend and SCD legal brand for

aspirin or ibuprofen? If Tylenol is the one, I understand if you

drink at all you should avoid this one so I am not even considering

this one. Thanks for your help.

Hi Aiazeen,

Elaine said it did us no use to be in pain/suffering and when

medications are needed we should take them. Tylenol is better for

people with GI issues and IBprofine is better for people with ASD issues.

It is ideal to get a script from a doc and have these meds compounded

through a compounding pharmacy to make it SCD compliant (I use

Hopewell Pharmacy in NJ) so that when these situations happen you have

your SCD legal medications- without the illegal concern.

With that said if you have to take an over the counter Tylenol now

take it!

And when you are feeling better prioritize and get some compounded meds.

Jodi's advice is very good and is the advice I use when my headaches get too bad, I also take Tylenol because Ibuprofen is very hard on your guts. Once I got a terrible tension headache that Tylenon would not touch and had to take Excedrin for Migraines. I haven't been to the doctor since starting SCD so I haven't been able to get a script for Tylenol to be compounded so I just take the OTC stuff and so far so good (crossing fingers; knocking on wood). Though, I only take it when absolutely necessary.

Hi Misty,

Is there a specific OTC Tylenol you have found with the least amount

of added illegals. Back in my Tylenol days I'd have to take the

coated ones. Which are full of illegals, I guess more so than uncoated?

Wishing you much safety from Gustav- they're saying it's going to be a

monster. Did you make yourself beef jerkey? So manybe you won't have

to eat so much fruit?

Please stay safe. I am so worried about all of you.

I'm allergic to acetominophen (the primary ingredient in Tylenol) so

when I need moderate pain relief I take either aspirin or ibuoprofen,

depending on the cause of the pain. I don't take them too often, and

my gastroenterologist is OK with this since I don't have an IBD.

I can find a brand of both that are also SCD-legal in my local

pharmacies. But I had to read the ingredient list on each box and

bottle very thoroughly until I found a form that had the least amount

of binders and no illegals. Each time I buy a box of my preferred

brand and style I check the ingredient list to make sure the formula

hasn't changed.

Kim M,

I have a problem taking Tylenol today- it causes me RUQ pressure. I

cannot take ibuoprofen at all as that triggers my Crohn's/Colitis to

spasm. Aspirin makes me so nauseas. I don't have many choices left

only like antihistamines and such to knock me out. A bummer.

No, I just use gelcaps because they are easier on my tummy.

I don't have a dehydrator so no Jerky. Though, there is a local company that makes legal jerky. I have one pack left from my trip to Disney. I'm going to try to make it to the store that carries it today. I am going to boil a couple dozen eggs tomorrow since they stay good at room temp for a couple days. If we loose electricity, we'll grill most of the meat in the freezer. Hopefully, I won't be too dependent on fruits.

THANKS!!!

Kim,

What is the brand? I think Wal Mart will let me request it.

componded tylenol legal no fillers -they can compound anything for

the most part - but probably have to pay -ins won't cover
