*  A burning, aching, gnawing pain between the navel and the breastbone. The pain sometimes extends to the back.\n    * Abdominal pain that can last from a few minutes to a few hours and usually goes away for a while after taking an antacid or acid reducer.\n    * Weeks of pain that comes and goes and may alternate with pain-free periods.\n    * Loss of appetite and weight loss.\n    * Bloating or nausea after eating.\n    * Vomiting after meals.\n    * Vomiting blood and/or material that looks like coffee grounds.\n    * Passing black, tarlike stools or stools containing dark red blood if the ulcer is bleeding.\n\n\nTreatment for peptic ulcer disease involves taking medications that reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach. If an H. pylori infection is present, antibiotics to eliminate the infection can be taken with these medications. Lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, limiting caffeine and alcohol intake, and reducing stress, can help speed the healing of your ulcer and prevent it from recurring.

It can be bad if you have a sensitive stomach or an ulcer. It has a lot of acid in it.

None. Go see your doctor to be sure you don't have anything more serious. Stomach cancer often feels like an ulcer. So does gastric reflux disease. Stomach ulcers can be serious, too, especially if they start bleeding. Go see a doctor to be sure it isn't anything serious.

I think this will help you.\n\n\nWhile the word ulcer can refer to any type of sore or lesion that won't heal, in common usage it typically refers to peptic ulcers, very painful lesions that form in the stomach or intestine. For years, even centuries, ulcers were believed to be caused by stress and/or particular kinds of food and were considered a chronic condition. That is, it was thought that you couldn't 'cure' ulcers, you just had to manage them with antacids, diet - eating only bland food, for example - and lowering your stress levels. The classical stereotype of the overworked Type-A manager would depict him getting off the phone and reaching for antacids as he clutched his midsection. "Oh, my ulcer," he would moan, an indication that the phone call had just contributed to his stress.\n\nBecause the stomach is a highly acidic environment, it was thought that bacteria simply couldn't live there for long. However, in 1982, Robin Warren, an Australian pathologist, proved that patients with chronic ulcers also had colonies of bacteria inhabiting their stomach. Barry Marshall, of the University of Western Australia, took this finding and, working with Warren, located and identified the bacterium in question, which they named Helicobacter pylori.\n\nTheir findings were so contradictory to prevailing conventional wisdom that their work got very little notice, even though it promised a permanent cure to stomach ulcers. In a dramatic display of the validity of their findings, Dr. Marshall deliberately infected himself with Helicobacter pylori and gave himself ulcers, which were then cured by a round of antibiotic treatment. Still, it took the next two decades to overthrow long-held beliefs on the treatment of ulcers, and you will find many laymen today who believe that ulcers are chronic and incurable. In October 2005, Warren and Marshall were awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine, in recognition for their groundbreaking work in the treatment of stomach ulcers.

Some ulcers are caused from bacteria. Sometimes specific antibiotics can treat an ulcer.

You may have a peptic stomach ulcer, I do and I have pain when I eat and drink most of the time, you should go see your doctor and see if there are any medications you could be on to ease the symptoms. And having a stomach ulcer isn't serious, I just had to change a few things that I ate, like cutting back on spicey foods and sodas.\n\nGood Luck, Hope you're feeling better soon.

Burning pain is the most common symptom of a peptic ulcer. The pain is caused by the ulcer and is aggravated by stomach acid coming in contact with the ulcerated area. The pain typically may:\n\nBe felt anywhere from your navel to your breastbone \nLast from a few minutes to many hours \nBe worse when your stomach is empty \nFlare at night \nOften be temporarily relieved by eating certain foods that buffer stomach acid or by taking an acid-reducing medication \nCome and go for a few days or weeks

Because alcohol is a very damaging substance to human body tissue in general. When you have a stomach ulcer, the lining of your stomach is aready dammaged and the alcohol will likley cause further distuction at the site of the ulcer.  This can lead to grave concequences including perferation, bleeding and even death.

here's a few: burning,gnawing,or aching in the abdominal area high or low,pain is sometimes better after eating,then back again 2-3 hrs after eating,may wake you from sleep, occurs daily for week or longer,can go away w/out treatment but unlikely-certain types of ulcers can be helped with antacids.  symptoms can be vague-- reccommend: reduce alchol if you drink,sress relief, also no smoking- if this helps your stomach ache afterwards then u most likely have ulcer and need to follow up with M.D.     LUCK!

It is not true that if one ulcer starts bleeding it will set off the other two.  However, while ulcers are usually not life-threatening, in rare cases, they can develop life-threatening complications.  10-20% of patients with ulcers can develop complications including significant bleeding, perforation, or gastric outlet obstruction.  Fortunately, ulcers are very treatable in this day and age.  If you know you have three ulcers lined up next to each other, you must have had an endoscopy.  The specialist will typically take some biopsies to see if you have a common infection that makes people more prone to ulcers.  This infection can be eradicated with certain combinations of antibiotics and acid-suppressing medications.  In addition, it would be wise to avoid medications such as ibuprofen (NSAIDs) which can predispose to ulcers.  I recommend you talk to your doctor about this in greater detail...

Ironically tobacco products kill over 400,000 people in America every year, while cannabis has no known fatalities in the history of mankind. If you have an ulcer you should eliminate anything that increases flare-ups including unhealthy food, hard drink, stress, etc. Knowing what you should do and doing it is what separate real men from the boys.
