"Ordinary" aspirins are not coated as they are taken as painkillers and need to act immediately so they do dissolve in the stomach.

For daily use you should not take ordinary aspirin only the special coated ones (which are more expensive). They are available on prescription.

Then I drink loads of water and stay off sugary or alcoholic drinks.
