Baby aspirin for FMD

Posted by Indigo64 @indigo64, Mar 4, 2024

I was diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis almost 2 years ago. The colitis was in remission. Then I had a Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) in October. I’ve been taking 81 mg of aspirin a day since then. Last month Mayo diagnosed Fibromuscular Dysplasia…treatment is aspirin. I’m having severe gas pains every night even though I take aspirin at noon. I’ve tried Beeno and GasX type products without relief. Does anyone else have this diagnosis & treatmentuu?

I also take 81 mg aspirin for FMD. I make sure to take it when I eat a meal to prevent stomach issues. Maybe that would work for you too.

Aspirin irritates GI tract, have you tried reducing stomach irritation with protonic or pepcid?

if the aspirin is to keep platelets from getting sticky, then perhaps a good quality Omega 3 / DHEA fish oil would be an alternative. I would research that and see if that would be a better fit for you.
