Aspirin can cause digestion problems because it removes the protective mucus coating that lines the stomach, with out mucus, the stomach is left unprotected from acids.

∙ 12y agoAspirin is made of acetylsalicylic acid. When it comes into contact with liquid it turns to salicylic acid, which will burn tissue. That is why most Aspirin is coated, to keep it from dissolving too soon.

If a patient use aspirin and suffer from stomachaches how can they be cured?
Aspirin can cause an irrated stomach. Ibuprofin (aceteminophen) and bufferin (buffered or coated aspirin) was made primarily to bypass the stomach and be digested in the intestines therefore not irritating the stomach. The heavy use of aspirin can cause ulceritis of the stomach wall and irritate existing ulcers. See the related link for more information.

How do you get a stomach ulsor?

Why shouldn't you take aspirin with an empty stomach?
Aspirin, like any other pill, will irritate your stomach. When you eat foods, they churn in your stomach and turn into harmless acids that dissolve more foods and digested things, until excreted. So, when you eat something before taking an Aspirin, there are more acids inside your stomach to help dissolve the Aspirin, reducing the irritation that it can have on your stomach and stomach lining. If you don't eat before taking an Aspirin, you may get some stomach irritation, followed by a stomach ache, but it shouldn't be too severe. But, I would recommend having at least a small snack before taking one, or any other pill, for that matter
Can you substitute baby aspirin for real aspirin?
Yes, you can. Baby aspirin is the same as regular aspirin, just 1/4 of the regular amount (81mg instead of 330 mg). Since aspirin causes stomach bleeding, it is advisable to only take small amounts of it. 1-2 pills of baby aspirin usually works fine for me.
