AlkaSeltzer...
The aspirin in AlkaSeltzer is easier to tolerate.
It is dissolved and does not hurt the stomach like tablets do.
Also the bicarb in it helps with pH issues, and blocks histamine
attachment to the histamine receptors.
If you use regular aspirin...use the enteric coated kind like
Ecotrin...but still I'd suggest AlkaSeltzer (original formula)
Another thing that causes flushing is serotonin release.
If you are on an SSRI for depression/pain, or have an organic
reason for excess serotonin release, you could have that rash.
Hidden tumors in the GI tract called Carcinoids, release serotonin intermittently (sometimes there is wheezing or diarrhea with it but not always), or a hidden lung tumor will also release serotonin. These things should be ruled out as well.
