Yesterday my girlfriend and I were at the store just looking at ingredents in food. I told her I needed more motrin because I was in pain (Still) well for some reason I looked at the ingredients of Motrin (I was taking 800 Mg two times a day) and low and behold...STARCH !!! I bought Aleve instead and when I got home I tested both, the Aleve had no starch and the motrin turned black as night !!! Also yesterday some friends went out for pizza, so I wanted to test myself....I had 2 pieces, but no motrin...only aleve. I woke up this morning with the same foot pain, and hand pain but no night sweats and no stiffness !!! I could even get my own socks out of the bottom drawer !! So I am staying on my NSD (Thank you all with the help wtth that) and I am never takiing motrin again !!! So word of warning, If you have AS and take motrin don't do it!!....it is full of starch...No wonder I have still been in alot of pain after my one month of NSD...I was accidentally taking starch every day in pill form !!! Cheers !! Dan C.

Just remember to double check if a doc prescribes you anything that it is available in a starch free form. And triple check at the pharmacy. I have just learnt that lesson the hard way...
