I started this thread to comment on bromelain as a supplement after reading the Travis Corner disscussions about bromelain interfering with prostaglandin E2 production and fungal hyphae development
For two weeks I have been taking 500 mg Now brand bromelain in the morning with breakfast. For the first 4-5 days I experienced some pain in my esophagus/stomach region. It has gone away. I haven't had any GERD symptoms lately but it may be too soon to tell. The mild pain I felt was similar to what I experienced when I took Defibron orally. The pain went away after several days of using the Defibron, too. I did not continue the Defibron after a week because it gave me some constipation. I have not had any constipation with the bromelain.
I can't really tell if it has helped with arthritis type pains.
