If one is having a bleeding ulcer it is advised not to take ANY NSAIDs ;NON STEROIDAL ANTI INFLAMMATORY...ie: Advil.
YOU also AVOID ASPIRIN as it causes a thinning of the blood.
You don't want to bleed to death through your stomach....do you?
If one is having bleeding it is advised to seek direct counsel from your care provider for what medication is best suited to your situation.
Yet is is standard medical protocol to avoid all NSAIDS with internal bleeding due to the mechanism of the NSAIDS being in the stomach and the COX2 enzyme.

Yes, it is not clear why, but Type Os are more susceptible to uclers and type As have a greater risk of getting stomach cancer. In addition, there are several different antigens in your blood which can also effect you.
How do you know when you have lupus?
Lupus is difficult to diagnose, even for an experienced doctor. There are no definitive lab tests. A diagnosis of lupus is made based on medical history, symptoms, a wide variety of lab tests and after ruling other things out. For many patients this take years.
What are these clear blisters in your mouth?
My husband is afflicted with perhaps the same thing recently. As far as my research has gone today I am thinking Mucocele. An oral condition when a pore becomes damaged and builds up saliva in a painless pocket. If you have insurance it would be good to get it checked out though anyhow. I ruled out cold sores as they are painful and what my husband experiences, though annoying, is pain-free.
