Joan,
I'm not sure which thread you are referring to, but they are not entirely without risks. Tests show that they may spare the stomach, but they can still cause intestinal bleeding. I would guess that if you are concerned about the autoimmune reaction risks, with MC, the actual risk probably depends on whether or not NSAIDS are actually a trigger for your MC, and/or the level of your personal reaction threshold, as far as dosage is concerned.
When I had the TIA event last July, I took an aspirin, (non-coated, because you don't want to slow down the absorption, when you suspect a TIA - in fact I should have chewed it, but that didn't dawn on me, at the time), as soon as I realized what was happening, and I took another, about 30 minutes later, when it became obvious that the symptoms were getting worse, not better. About two days later, I passed some blood, so obviously, 650 mg is a "dangerous" dose, for me.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
