Rheumatoid arth?: If your mother has rheumatoid arthritis, there are new, more specific treatments that can be substituted for acelofenac (diclofenac) that will not upset the stomach. If not, sometimes adding a med like omeprazole will help. Does she take her med only a full stomach as advised? Finally some people benefit from celecoxib which has a lower incidence of stomach upset. Best wishes to her.
