Lowest dose of aspirin (anti-inflammatory) inhibiting redness?

[Guest guest]

Folks over 40 often take aspirin for heart disease prevention. Some take a

baby aspirin 1x a day.

It is true that when I take aspirin my skin's flushing is reduced. What

dosage have you found effective?

I generally take aspirin around 2-3 a month for sinus headaches, allergies,

etc.

I take 1 adult size asprin every day. I've been doing this for about 10

years longer then I have my rosacea because I've heard that it prevents heart

attacks. Maybe that is why I have no redness at all. Could this be ?

I've found two children's aspirin to be the best -- one in the

morning and one at night. Children's aspirin has no caffeine in it

like regular aspirin does. That's one benefit for those who get

blotchy from caffeine.

Hi Barb,

It is continued use that breaks down enzymes in the stomach lining and

intestinal villi. And it does not matter how you take it. This gradually

disrupts

digestion and hinders healing in the digestive tract. I suggest that you use the

aspirin only when you need it and not out of habit. Also adding digestive

enzymes

to your diet my help replace what is needed. Every cell in the body functions

with the aid of enzymes. It is estimated that every minute there are 36 million

biochemical reactions facilitated by enzymes in the body. Enzyme regulate all

living matter. With out the proper enzyme to bind to minerals, vitamins and even

oxygen are useless to the body.

Papaya, papian, and pineapple, bromelain, are enzyme supplements. The best food

sources are avocados, bananas, papayas, mangoes, pineapples, and sprouts.

Take

care,

Mark

I have to join Mark in recommending caution when using

daily doses of aspirin to control flushing. There are

enteric forms available, which are supposed to be

easier on the gut, but I think that if you've have

chronic digestive problems, you should still be

careful. Also, remember that aspirin thins the blood,

so you shouldn't take it if you're already taking

another blood-thinning agent (like warfarin or

coumadin).

I'm only concerned about this b/c when I was a

toddler, I was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid

arthritis. Fortunately, I don't remember any of it, I

was so young, and I only had one or two really bad

episodes. Though I've been in remission for over 20

years, I did have to take multiple daily doses of

aspirin from age 2 to age 8. I used to bruise very

easily and get nosebleeds so badly (from the blood

thinning action), that I actually had to have

cauterization done when I was about 7. But one of the

long-term effects has been a chronic problem with my

GI tract, from top to bottom--I had pretty severe GERD

by the time I was 19, and I've suffered from chronic

consitpation, as well. Plus, I was diagnosed with

rosacea quite young. It's only been in the last year

that I've made the dietary modifications that have

rebalanced my intestinal flora and left me relatively

problem-free. But I would suspect that taking so much

aspirin (and not the enteric-coated kind--that wasn't

yet available when I was on the drug) at such an early

developmental stage, played a role in problems I later

experienced with my digestive tract. And since we're

still trying to tease out the relationship b/n

digestive problems and rosacea and other chronic

conditions, I can't rule out the connection b/n them.

For those who want to take aspirin or are taking it

and find some benefit from it, would a natural

substitute like willow bark be a better alternative?

Those who are up on their homeopathy, what do you

think?
