    ibuprofen and the like are off limits because they irritate the stomach. I am not sure of any others.

    NSAIDs, but not all docs agree with that thinking. It used to be thought NSAIDs caused erosion, now they know the problem is mostly for those on long term use or for those that it upsets their stomach anyway.

    My doc permits Motrin type drugs if you take the liquid version and chase it with lots of Water.
