I have a suspicion that I developed an ulcer because of aspirin use. I have resolution from symptoms after almost 3 years of trial and error. Im convinced what healed me was a lot of green cabbage in a variety of preparations and yoghurt (but thats not the topic of this thread). And yes I tried a BUNCH of other things.
I occasionally took precautions but i usually either took plain "starch only" aspirin or dissolved it in warm water.
What i didnt realize is that though aspirin is acidic, I highly doubt that that was what was responsible for its caustic nature on my stomach ( if it was aspirin and not stress or something since it was during the COVID BS). Rather, I think it was the prostaglandin inhibition which the stomach relies on for proper lining integrity.
I miss the benefits and feel of aspirin and would like to take it again. I have considered using only willow bark but its not standardized and less convenient.
This is an attempt to have an aspirin protocol which diminishes the risk of ulcers.
If and when I take aspirin again I will do as follows:
325mg aspirin dissolved in warm water with:
Ginger powder, baking soda, hydrolized collagen, ascorbic acid (or a squeez of lemon), 1mg Vitmain K1 and after a meal. I may coat the stomach with DGL first (a "safely" refined licorice supplement) I may also dehydrate and powder green cabbage to include in the mix if i find im being bothered.
Things that still seem to irritate my stomach are commercial orange juice and black pepper.
During the height of my ulcer almost everything bothered me but the triggers were; going a long time between meals, soda, black pepper, pineapple or acidic fruits (especially orange), very salty foods and commercial cheese with enzymes.
Here is a Masterjohn video on the topic, he seems to be a fan of alkalizing the the body as opposed to the aspirin and doesn't think its a good idea for the stomach to come in contact with aspirin.
