As someone with rheumatoid arthritis, my experience is that Celebrex is far easier on my tummy than NSAIDs. I don't get any GI pain from Celebrex. Lovely stuff.

I also take a statin for cholesterol, which probably helps with inflammation, too, although that's "off label."

The pharmaceutical industry as we know it is still relatively new - a hundred years ago they were treating dysentery with calomel, which is a purgative! And antibiotics only since WWII!

So I agree that you need to be careful. If you don't take NSAIDs on a daily basis, you don't need Celebrex. And if you don't get GI pain, you can stick with tried and true OTC ibuprofen and aspirin.
