I started having gut problems prior to having any inflammatory arthritis.
My arthritis really blew up when I got an intestinal sickness in Thailand.
There is no doubt a correlation with myself. And I have taken very little NSAID's in my life. I think they are horrible long term medicines.
the issue is once you have this information what can you do about it? Will healing the gut damp down the arthritis? The "gut" is in essence our immune system.
