Can Naproxen cause IBS?

Posted , 2 users are following.

A while ago, I took a very short course of Naproxen for Prostatitis pain. The Naproxen irritated my stomach a lot and I feel my digestive system has not been the same since.

Could the Naproxen have caused what became IBS?

      No, I only took it during that short period and haven't touched it since, as I had such a bad reaction to it.
