I have occassional back pain that won't get better very quickly unless I take ibuprofen! I just take 4-5 tsp. at a time.
I understand why we can't take ibuprofen pills, but I figured the liquid was OK.
Does anyone else use this occassionally?

....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.
Like this:
OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?
Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!
Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

Well, I'm posting this just to let you know why one would get an unfill. I've been 'sitting on the fence' for quite some time and have finally decided to get a bit of an unfill.

I can't eat much meat unless it's drenched in sauce or Mayonnaise, and then only very little. As a result, I feel sure I'm not getting enough Protein
90% of the food I eat is "mushy"
I'm not eating nearly enough fish, fresh veggies and fruit
I'm eating WAY too much in the way of chips and crackers
I'm starting to feel some reflux symptoms at night, but not too badly...just want to nip that in the bud!
I have had a few esophageal spasms...not pleasant at all
The list of healthy foods I cannot eat is WAY too long; I miss chicken and eggs and salads
It takes me 45 minutes to get in a cup of food
Milkshakes are a little too yummy to rely on for sustenance
I'm growing weary of fighting with my band at every meal :thumbup:
SO... we shall see. I'm hoping to feel better soon. :crying: That would be nice.

Pamela -- Sorry, I can't help you girl. I have never had that "problem" in my entire life, much less in the recent past. But I certainly do appreciate your sharing with us!!! :confused: Made my morning just thinking about it!
Jenn -- So glad you have turned the corner. You may find that you are feeling great in the morning, but sore in the evenings. So take it easy!! I can't believe you haven't been needing your pain meds...I took them for at least 4 days as I recall...at night mostly. Is your gas getting better too? Did you ever have the dreaded shoulder pain? Crazy how intense that can get!
Sara - Hungover?
