Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I was looking at my tylenol bottle and noticed that there is gelatin in the inactive ingredients. We have only been vegetarian for 3 1/2 months and I had no clue gelatin was in there. So my question is what does everyone use as a pain reliever!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Are those gelcaps? I wouldn't think the regular white tablets would have gelatin in them, but I may be wrong.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hi Michelle, We use homeopathic arnica tablets under the tongue and depending on the type of pain, either cold or warm packs or Traumeel cream topically. (Arnica and Traumeel are available at health food stores, or we have gotten them at our chiropractor's office, too.) And you can get homeopathic blends specifically for back pain, headache, sinus pain, etc. that might help. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Most capsules are made with gelatin so you need to get teh tablets.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I use ibuprophen or aspirin. Occasionally will use tylenol. As far as I know none of the tablets of any of those have gelatin. Only soft-gels or gel-caps (have gel for gelatin in the name) would have gelatin in them.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 We also use the tablets (Iburprophen, store brand usually since it's all the same stuff - I do read the labels to be sure there's nothing hiding in there that I don't want). I also suffer from migraines and have the following ritual: hottest hot shower pounding on my head and afterwords I use my migrastick (it's a blend of peppermint and lavender oils in a roll on vial that really helps me with the nausea problems - they used to have them at Wild Oats, but I've not had to look for them in a while, so they maybe have it at Whole Foods or other natural foods type stores/health food stores) and then go lay down in a dark and quiet room. I usually also end up having to take an OTC migraine reliever like Excederine migraine, but I also get the generics for that one (which if I take it early enough wards it off from having to lose a whole or half a day of life, though sometimes it doens't work at all). Actually I think that's in the wrong order - I take the Migraine medicine and use the migrastick, and if it's not working then I do the hot shower/migrastick/sleep routine if I can). I only ever get the tablets, never saw gelatin in them. missie On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 2:13 PM, Renee Carroll <renecarol25 wrote: > > I use ibuprophen or aspirin. Occasionally will use tylenol.
