Chondroitin / glucosamine for Osteoarthritis "Started taking Cosamin DS several months ago for arthritis pain and stiffness. Started having excessive gas about the time I started taking Cosamin DS. I plan to stop taking Cosamin DS to see if this cures my gas problem. Hair loss may also be associated."

For Osteoarthritis "I began taking GC after being unable to tolerate meloxicam, although meloxicam relieved my inflammation and pain considerably. After taking GC for 14 days, I notice a definite improvement in my arthritis symptoms. The GC does give me excessive gas and bloating, but does not give me the severe stomach pain that the meloxicam produced. It's all about what side effects are less severe."

For Dietary Supplementation "I’ve been taking this medication for a short time at the recommended dosage for arthritis and body joint pain. I heard about glucosamine chondroitin several months ago and really wanted to try it! Honestly, I don’t remember a time when I’ve had so much nausea, gas, and bloating. I’m not sure if it’s helping my pain, as I’m too sick to even get out of bed. I’ve been more productive through the pain than on this medication!"
