Question: Witrh some beginning signs of arthritis I started to take Glucosamine Sulfate. It does seems to have helped. However. there's this one
rather nasty side effect (or so it seems.) Always gassy anyway, I
am now producing much more of what seems to be hydrogen sulfate. Is this a common side effect of people taking Glucosamine SUlfate,
and if so is there any preventative measure?
Answer: I've been taking Osteo Bi-Flex (a combination of Glucosamine and
chondroiton) for several years now and have never had any side effects. And it certainly did help my thumbs when I started taking it. I have since
had to have surgery on one thumb but the other one is still holding its
own.
