I cant find any article that explains this. why do we all have same reaction? is it common? whats the cause? are we allergic to it? how do we fix it? or what else can we use instead as a pain killer? (the only thing we have in common is asthma)

Hi,
Paracetamol can cause gastritis or bloating as side effect. Some side effects can be hereditary and can affect many family members. I would suggest you to take ibuprofen along with proton pump inhibitors or Ranitidine to reduce or prevent side effects.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
