why do you think you have an ulcer

I have all the symptoms of a stomach ulcer 😭 and I used some tablets thing that can cause an ulcer if u use too much and I didn't use too much but I might have had a weak stomach from before idk n now everything feels horrible

Most people will get gastritis before an ulcer forms. It's very very painful, and feels a lot like an ulcer. You gotta temporarily change your diet, I used to get it and can give you some food advice later when i get back home

Yeah sure, if u could say like food types not to eat/drink etc would b good

Yeah so the only reason I'm not gonna be like "go to a doctor!" is because this is basically what they will tell you to do before they'll give you a scope to diagnose an ulcer.

theres an over the counter medicine you get called Omeprazole (that's the generic drug name in the US, I dunno what it's called where you are), and that will lower the amount of stomach acid for a while while you try to heal and feel better.

Things with lots of acid, fat, and sugar are going to really irritate it - so try to avoid stuff like that for a few weeks (which is hard to avoid completely, but reduce it as much as you can, and the medicine will help you eat)
having an empty stomach is even more painful because the lining of the stomach is very irritated, and when your stomach is empty, the acid is right up on that irritation, so what I did was I ate a lot of sticky stuff - such as oatmeal, which helped coat the lining of my stomach. Stuff with lots of fiber helps, plain veggies are good, try to eat less red meat.
And if you can get probiotic vitamins or fermented foods that will help a lot too. That's how I kept it from coming back, I eat fermented foods.

you REALLY need to avoid alcohol as long as you can, because that's usually what causes it, and many folks try to drink too soon, causing it to come back.

Obviously if it gets worse, or you start throwing up blood, go to a doctor!
When I had gastritis (& possibly a mild ulcer) - it was quite literally the most painful experience of my life, I really thought I was dying.

Honestly, you might wanna go to the doc with your stomach issues tho. It's not normal. And you're likely hungry even if you don't feel like it which may make you feel sick, as you probably know.

Yes I know that but no cus I eat either way but it feels like im stuffed before I even start eating ouff

gastritis did totally fuck with my ability to tell whether I was hungry or full, it's a weird feeling

Ouff its not that painful for me, it also feels very much better now than when I made the thread so might have been my throat infection messing up my stomach a bit idunno, but mostly just felt like stinging burning in my stomach, not the same feeling as when im hungry but kinda similar. I'll try not drinking yes cus I sometimes get acid reflux from drinking and if I get that normally, I would figure it would be a theousand times worse if I have some issue in my stomach from before lol. Also will see if my dad can buy me stuff that lowers stomach acid too, cus I often have problems feeling extremely sick if I don't eat enough, so sick ill just puke and I can't get anything down at that point and existing is just pain, so it mightttt help in those cases to actually be able to eat something too? Idk, just since my stomach won't feel so irritated mby

If you had an ulcer you'd KNOW, its like, fire, stabbing, vomiting, sweating from pain, I was in so much pain I nearly passed out.
But like if your belly is just real hot and hurty, too much stomach acid is possible and those meds would help - but if they dont you should def see a doctor if you can

I don't think the drinking caused it since I haven't had any for over a week and this started right before I made the thread, but I used sucking tablets (???) with NSAIDs n I read that can make ur stomaach messed up so it might have been that tbh, cus I stopped using them after I noticed it made my stomach very weird feeling an now it feels a ton better already

Worst pain ever..but i wouldn’t get it
checked out until I started passing blood
and lost a lot of weight because I was scared lol

it didn’t matter what I ate, it hurt
and when I wasn’t in pain
it was vomiting/nausea

until you can see someone
stick to bland foods, no soda/caffeine
nicotine/smoking is a no go as well
