Kerry,

  I'm not sure even taking NSAIDs with food will protect the stomach—at least not entirely. I say this because there is a woman who posted here regularly, "Captain Deb", who suffered from raging headaches after her surgery. Before she had fine-tuned her meds by replacing Ibuprofen with Imirtrex, the lining of her stomach had been damaged, even though she had been careful enough to take the Ibuprofen along with food.

But then, as you pointed out, moderation is certainly important. But when you're in constant agony, what exactly is moderation? Not exceeding the daily amount recommended on the label? Even that much, taken at 4 hour intervals around the clock every day
would be damaging.
