Is there a stomach which can handle aspirin regularly (even in small doses) without the risk of getting ulcers and bleeding? If there is... where's the line to get one? :)


Just dissolve the tablet in a spoon of water. Will pass through the stomach fast enough. Also there are PPIs which can help with ulcer risk reduction... I mean, between cancer and aspirin...


How fast the aspirin passes through your stomach has no impact on ulceration and bleeding. It's not a contact effect, it's a systemic effect that reducing the stomach's ability to protect itself.


I've been taking a low-dose aspirin for 10+ years with my morning meal and I've never had issues with ulcers or bleeding.
