Copper gluconate should be OK, and if you take 3 a day (I'm
assuming you take the ibuprofen 3 times a day), that's 6mg
copper, which is certainly safe for a limited period, as copper
supplements can be sold in 5mg tablets. You might want to take a
zinc supplement too, as copper can inhibit zinc absorption. In
theory, the copper will combine in your stomach to form a
zinc-ibuprofen complex which has more anti-inflammatory effect
than ibuprofen on its own, and may heal stomach ulcers instead
of causing them. Copper salicylate does, and it looks like other
similar drugs do the same.
Check this out yourself, and make an informed decision. I always
take copper on the rare occasions I take ibuprofen, as it seems
safer to me than ibuprofen on its own.
I feel almost obliged to say this is not medical advice.... Has
anyone really been prosecuted for making a comment on a list like
this?

Hi Paul,
Thanks for that info, and the article on DMSO for Crohn's from
krysalis is interesting, too. Great stuff! The GOL products
seem to be the only things recommended or sold for this type of
GI condition nowdays, they are literally everywhere, and I
can't use any of them.
The copper I have on hand is Copper gluconate 2 mg per capsule.
Do you know if this is ok?
TIA,
sol

Sol, if you have to take ibuprofen, I suggest taking a
chelated copper tablet with each dose. This should protect
your stomach from the very damaging effects of the NSAID. It
may also increase the anti-inflammatory effects of the
ibuprofen.
