There is ongoing debate over the use of NSAID drugs for Ulcerative colitis patients.
Standard advise has been to avoid their use.
NSAID's like ibuprofen can and do irritate the lining of the stomach. The lining of the intestines is already inflamed by the disease and taking something known to irritate the stomach could exacerbate the symptoms.
This being said, patients still need pain relief for common day to day problems such as headache and muscle soreness etc, just like anyone else.
Consult your treatment team for suggestions.
