Dx with gastritis--can I still take NSAIDs occasionally?

@lisalucier Thanks so much for the reply. The Science Direct article was interesting.

I haven't talked to my doctors specifically about occasional use of naproxen, and I would apparently have to restart as a new patient with the GI doc in order to talk to him. Maybe the ortho PA, whom I'm seeing next week, will have some advice, as I imagine it's not an uncommon situation for arthritis patients.

Thanks again!
Nancy

@nancyjt, I have 2 cents worth.

I am working through figuring out this same thing. My primary care doc is helping me navigate starting with history he is aware of, that I should be taking aspirin. Maybe your primary care has records from your previous GI doc. They also should be able to help with possible solutions.

I also take Tylenol Arthritis 650s and fortunately have been able to cut down to 4 a day. Any other type that wasn’t an extended release didn’t work as well for me.

Do you remember is your erosions were totally healed at the time they were found? Do you have a primary doctor that could help you?
