Dx with gastritis--can I still take NSAIDs occasionally?

I started having joint pain and my doctor prescribed Ibuprofen. It's extremely effective, but it did upset my stomach as I was warned. Google says that I can take the drug intermittently with Tylenlol at least 3 to four hours apart. I found that Prilosec can also help neutralize the acid. Also, I take Ibuprofen with fiber which minimizes the acidity of the drug.

@lbroomayo1 Hi Lynn, thanks for sharing your experience. Yes, you can take ibuprofen together with Tylenol, I always did (not spaced out, but usually together). I did this for 20 years with no problem until last year, when I had the abnormal FIT test--otherwise I wouldn't have known I had a little stomach bleeding. My FIT tests had always been normal up til then.
I ALWAYS took ibuprofen with a meal and plenty of liquid. I think that's why I didn't have any problem for two decades.
Good luck!
