I am gluten intolerant and have a positive celiac blood test, and have
arthritis type pain, stiffness and such increasingly over 10 yrs. The
rheumatologist wants to give me this drug which is also used for
inflammatory bowel disease because I also have a history of irritable
bowel. She said there is a particular inflammatory arthritis that
celiacs get and has done a gene test on me for HLA-B27 but I don't have
the results yet.
I know liver function needs to be watched and that you have to limit sun
exposure. Does anyone have experience with this medication for
arthritis like symptoms? I am to get 500mg once a day initial; if I
tolerate it I should take it twice a day.
I will summarize.
Thanks for your replies.
