Question 1

stomach problems esspecially in the gullet area it knocks the wind into my back its always after food .ive had a camra  but nothing was found .could it be an ulcer .when the pains bad its awful i cry myself to sleep rocking trying my best to shut my eyes

Accepted Answer

Not an ulcer: It would be unlikely to be an ulcer since this is easily seen by endoscopy ("camera").  There are many different possible explanations including gallbladder disease, pancreatitis, irritable bowel, to name but a few.  Pain this severe warrants urgent evaluation--i suggest that you contact your primary care doctor or gastroenterologist for re-evaluation.  I hope you feel better soon.

Question 2

history of "chronic colitis", ucler's. indicated i have crohns disease after a real bad food poisoning episode, went to er, stomach soreness for months. colonoscopy showed chornic colitis, ulcer term ileium and elsewhere. 2nd colon clean no meds.chr?

Accepted Answer

: Usually the goal in the management of chronic inflammatory diseases is to get the symptoms under control and then switch to maintenance treatment to keep you well as there are usually no permanent cures. You don't mention whether you're under the care of the gastroenterologist or whether he/she was only consulted to perform the colonoscopies. Perhaps you should get a 2nd opinion from another gastr

Question 3

hi last 8 weeks been experiencing stomach burning chest burning and dull ache from belly button upwards seems to flare at night or after eating certain foods and in bad in morning took anti acid which helps flatulence and bowel sounds ulcer maybe??

Accepted Answer

: You likely have GERD (GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease).
There are some tips to alleviate the symptoms: avoid the foods which exacerbate symptoms, avoid supine position within 2 hours after meals, raise the head of your bed with at least 2 bricks, taking PPI (over the counter) such as Prilosec OTC, Omeprazole, Prevacid or Nexium (see their label for instruction) for 2 months.

Question 4

what kinds of food to eat if you have stomach ulcers?

Accepted Answer

Avoid things: That can worsen GERD like acidic foods, spicy foods, peppermint, alcohol and nicotine containing products.  But the most important thing is to take your prescribed medications that are meant to heal your ulcers.  Also avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs unless your doctors specifically says it's ok.

Question 5

please answer! what kinda food to eat if you have stomach ulcers?

Accepted Answer

Stomach Ulcers: First of all, visit with your primary care physician for proper diagnosis and/or referral to a specialist (ie. Gastroenterologist).  Avoid acidic and spicy foods and drinks, including coffee, sodas, fruit juices and any others that contain caffeine.  Also, the "energy-producing" drinks must be on that list since they have large doses of caffeine as stimulants.  Go to your md and feel better!

Question 6

Question 7

what are stomach ulcer friendly foods?

Accepted Answer

See answer: Eat a variety of healthy foods from all the food groups. Eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat dairy foods. Whole grains include whole-wheat breads, cereals, pasta, and brown rice. Choose lean meats, poultry (chicken and turkey), fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. A healthy meal plan is low in unhealthy fats, salt, and added sugar. Healthy fats include olive oil and canola oil.

Question 8

which foods are recommended for someone with a stomach ulcer?

Accepted Answer

No fried food: Avoid all greasy food, fried food, and very spicy food.

Question 9

will spicy food and stress cause stomach ulcers?

Accepted Answer

No: Stomach ulcers are caused either by an infection with h pylori bacteria or by damage from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen). Emotional stress does not cause stomach ulcers. Physical stress such as fractures of long bones or serious burns can cause bleeding ulcers, especially in hospitalized patients.

Question 10

is it bad to drink vodka if you also have stomach ulcers?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Thought vodka in itself does not cause ulcers it can delay healing and cause ulcer to hurt.  Vodka, in general, is not good for anything.  There may be some benefit to moderate (1-2 oz daily) alcohol consumption but this seems limited to wine or non-distilled alcohols.
