- pault 10y agoThis isn't random chance. Ibuprofen can cause ulcers and blood in the urine if taken on an empty stomach. Not many people know this.
- Confusion 10y agoI was mostly responding to the fact that you seemed to be blaming her hernia on ibuprofen. However, even when changed to an ulcer, it is the kind of anecdotal evidence that keeps urban legends alive. Long term use of ibuprofen is known to cause ulcers. Rare use, on an empty stomach or not, does not instantly cause bleeding and ulcers. It is much more likely that Broken_Hippo is right or that she indeed has been chronically using ibuprofen.
