Natural anti-inflammatories or painkillers that dont upset stomach?

[Shawn Philips]

I want to quit ibuprofen, because although it works in my headaches it end up producing stomach ulcers. It's been proven that stomach issues trigger more headaches so it's a nevber ending cycle of pain.

I want to try something natural for the inflammation. For example turmeric pills, or the capsaicin (contained in spicy foods like chili) acts as an analgesic and anti inflammatory.

Of course, these suplements come in capsules to avoid the unbearable bad taste. I'm worried if so strong componendt could damage my stomach.

Do you know what's causing the inflammation? Try to cut potentially inflammatory things out of your diet first. You'll have to do a lot of work with elimination diet or similar to figure out if you might be mildly allergic to something.

Stuff like ibuprofen (or the natural equivalents) are just masking the inflammation. It'd be better if you could get rid of it at the root.
