Where does Aspirin fit into this? I only use paracetemol and ibuprofen. The one time I tried asprin I got a stomach pain.

aspirin is an NSAID, taking it modifies the prostaglandine levels (through its COX inhibition) and this influences the mucosa of your stomach. ibuprofen can still have the same side effects, because its belonging to the same class of drugs.
