Enteric coating helps with stomach upset but has not been shown to decrease the risk of ulcers caused by NSAIDS.

I think NSAIDS carry a lower risc of ulceration than high dose aspirin but it has been decades since I’ve seen literature regarding the matter.

That said, I find the same thing, Naproxen upsets my stomach more than aspirin or ibuprofen but it seems to vary by individual, my wife tolerates Naproxen better than ibuprofen.

Yep. My brother and I were talking about pain killers and he had no problem with Naproxen.
