Aspirin : Aspirin can cause stomach ulcers, even if taken with food. Nausea and stomach pain are symptoms that can be associated with ulcers.

Stomach ulcers: Simply put yes. Never take aspirin or Aspirin products and NSAID's on an empty stomach. even if its taken like it should be - ulcers can still arise. You need to stop the aspirin and see your doctor.
