Yes, but! : Glucosamine can cause this, but many types of arthritis can be associated with inflammation of the small intestine . You should try a course of sulfasalazine 500mg delayed release bid. If this works, you have an arthritis, albeit mild. Why are you taking glucosamine? It is of little or no value?
