Could taking paracetamol 500 mg every month ( up to three gs a week) cause stoma!

Question: Yes, but it's unlikely. Any medicine can cause any side effect.

However, at 3 grams a week, it is not very likely. Paracetamol, known in the US as Tylenol, usually has a low incidence of tummy problems.

You are at greater risk of liver damage than gastic ulcer, and even that is unlikely. Before the age of 65 it is generally accepted that you can safely take as much as 7 grams a day, and after 65 4 grams a day.
