Question 1

my husband has ulcers and reflux problems. on losec (omeprazole). eats grapefruit-has gas every day. is this the problem?

Accepted Answer

Possibly.: Grapefruit has a great deal of acid, and if eaten every day can build up acid in the stomach and result in reflux, but gas every day does not do it, and ulcers are usually from diet and stress.  Reflux is usually from 3 main foods; orange juice, chocolate, and tomato products like sauce, etc.  Prilosec should stop this, but it is strong and has side effects.  See your dr. To be sure of correct use.

Question 2

i have a lot of belching and farting
i also have stomach and duodenum ulcers and gastritis
how to fix that?

Accepted Answer

Check for h. pylori,: You should see a doctor and get checked for a bacteria called H. Pylori.  This baceteria can cause stomach ulcers = if  you have it you will need to take antibiotics to treat it. YOu can also start taking peptobismol.
For the gas, try activated charcoal.

Question 3

i had this gas disturbance in my stomach accompanied with belching, odourless farting & tingling sensation in my lower back.. got treated for ulcer.. noticed the tingling sensation moved down to my scrotum and tip of my penis... is this normal?

Accepted Answer

: It is not normal but the tingling sensation is likely benign.
However, your symptoms are not consistent with PUD but more like a GI viral illness or food poisoning. 
Just observe that tingling sensation for now.
By your statement, the tingling sensation had been present before you received med for ulcer, is that correct?

Question 4

what is the cause of flatulence in people with ulcers and how can it be treated?

Accepted Answer

Air: Flatulence in all people is caused by gas, either from "swallowing air" or from production inside the gut.  The ulcer should not affect gas production; excessive gas can be treated with dietary changes as well as otc meds like simethicone.

Question 5

do duodenal ulcer causes flatulence?

Accepted Answer

Yes: they may cause an increase in gas and burping.

Question 6

flatulence, fatigue and feeing like need to make a bowl movement. gurgling in upper abdomen (bothsides) and constantly feeling hungry. an ulcer?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: That doesn't sound much like a stomach ulcer.  With the ulcer you usually have pain in the upper abdomen that is worse when the stomach is empty.  Are you having that at all?  I would see your doctor if these symptoms have gone on more than 7-10 days.

Question 7

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 8

do stomach ulcers cause a lot of gas?

Accepted Answer

Pain yes,gas no: The gas you produce is a combination of swallowed air and gas arising from the action of gut germs on undigested food. Beans as an example have fucose,a sugar humans don't  metabolize, but germs do. Eat a lot, and germ action makes you gassy. Ulcers are just holes in the upper layers of the tissue lining the inside of the gut.

Question 9

i'm been having alot of gas for bout a week now, i do have an ulcer...in my duodenum...i tried a few things to help, but not getting much relief...my ?

Accepted Answer

Flatulence: Gas (flatulence or bleching) is a nonspecific symptom and could be due to many things- not necessarily an ulcer. If the ulcer turns out the problem, you want to have it treated and that's usually with antacids and sometimes triple therapy if tests positive of H. pylori. To help you better, more history should be taken first.
