This topic is about the experiences and concerns of people with a colostomy who are considering taking low-dose aspirin, specifically a daily baby aspirin (81 mg), to manage high cholesterol. The main concern is whether this medication might cause bleeding from the stoma or elsewhere in the digestive system. Here are some insights and advice shared by others:
1. Two individuals have shared that they have been using low-dose aspirin (81 mg) for a long time without experiencing any bleeding from their stoma or intestines.
2. Another person advises caution, noting that while the baby-dose aspirin has been safe for them, higher doses of aspirin could potentially lead to gastrointestinal bleeding.
