    ITT everyone talking about liver damage? It’s tylenol that is harder on the liver. Ibuprofen is harder on the kidneys. Yeah, you can mess with your liver if you take too much ibuprofen, too.

        Just earlier I was reading about NSAIDs and saw this: “There’s no evidence that taking ibuprofen with food prevents gastric irritation”

        I’m sure I can find the article with citation in my history if you care.

        Some individuals don’t tolerate it at all and get ulcers or bleeding with one dose. I know this because I’m related to one of these people
