Extra strength tylenol

Post by Mav »

I recently had some extreme dental problems with a tooth with an old root canal resporbtion
And falling out causing left over parts needing to be dug out by an oral surgeon. Recovery pain was sever so I started taking extra strength Tylenol. Lymphocytic colitis symptoms improved 100% with the first formed stools in years. I really don’t understand since acetaminophen is not an anti inflammatory or so I was told. I only took 1 at a time 1-3 x a day. Jaw is starting to feel better and bruising and swelling going away a week later but I hate to stop taking it. This has been a great reprieve for my LC !!! Any thoughts as to why? I know it’s not great for ones liver.

That's sort of amazing. I have no idea of why it worked, unless the pain had completely distracted your immune system and by relieving the pain, the Tylenol reduced your stress level enough to make a real difference.

Thanks for sharing this experience.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Could it be the removal of the tooth?
