Oh well...I guess I strike out on both counts. I don't take excessive aspirin, but I do when I have aches and pains.

It works well for me, where acetaminophen and others do zilch.

I've never had any noticeable stomach problems since I had my gall bladder out 27 years ago at the age of 27 :-).

I suppose I'll just keep on keepin' on since it seems to be working.

People take aspirin for pain in the form that works quickly. If regular pain mediation is done with aspirin, the 'coated' versions are useful because they dissolve more slowly and when in the intestine where natural buffering reduces irritant potential. Some of the new 'cox-2' inhibitors do a great job in inflammation reduction without the same irritation potential of aspirin. But nothing I've found works as quickly or predictably as aspirin! ... [The above is from Dr. Quack, a non-doctor to be sure!]

Oh hey!! I'm heading for one of those this week after a wild attack some days ago. Your note sounds promising as I have stomach problems regularly. I'm curious, how does your system handle fats like olive oil, butters, creams, etc? I was trying cod liver oil for the Vitamin D but it about tore my stomach apart and now suspect my gall bladder was a major part of that.
