Just an added note to clarify my personal experience. My microscopic colitis was diagnosed as an inflammation in the colon from taking too much ALEVE. Yes, I’m guilty. I have osteoarthritis and joint pain from taking low doses of steroids for more than fifty years for adrenal insufficiency. I stopped using ALEVE immediately and started using budesonide to heal the colon. In less than a month my diarrhea was gone. I now use only Tylenol for pain. True, it doesn’t do the job of handling pain like ALEVE did, but I took ALEVE twice daily for way too many years. I over did it and payed the price. I’m a good example of knowing we can overdose without realizing it. Even though the directions were clear I ignored them in order to live a fast paced life that did not want pain to get in my way.
To be clear the budesonide did stop my diarrhea. Several years later I took one ALEVE for extreme pain from overdoing it while moving. Diarrhea came back almost immediately. Now I know for sure it is the ALEVE that I can no longer take. My thought to everyone is to investigate what might be causing your problems. I’m not a doctor but I do believe my experience is probably not the only one. Try to dig into what could be causing your diarrhea. It could surprise you as my case did. 😊
