Message: <blockquote data-quote="badmedisin" data-source="post: 136305" data-attributes="member: 16874">I've been told diabetics should never take ibuprofen. I've also been told it's fine. Hmm. What worries me is that they never warn you about the very serious risk of it causing stomach ulcers. Not the normal kind of ulcers that can be cured by antibiotics, rather the kind that basically destroy your stomach lining and leave you in debilitating pain for the rest if your life. If you really must take ibuprofen, ALWAYS eat just before you take it. If it's mixed up with food in your stomach it is less likely to stick to your stomach lining and cause permanent damage. I think this goes for alltablets to some extent, unless you are specifically told to take it on an empty stomach. It's just one of those things doctors never tell you when they prescribe things, like how you should always eat if you have to take emergency contraception otherwise you will puke and have to go back for more. I just wish they would tell you rather than waiting for you to work it out on your own! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
