Question 8

how to know if i have a stomach ulcer?

Accepted Answer

Endoscopy: You would need an upper endoscopy, which is a camera that is inserted through your mouth to look directly at the stomach.

Question 9

i have a stomach ulcer what can't i eat?

Accepted Answer

Acidic/fatty foods: In researching this question i found many lists of food to avoid that were completely undocumented & questionable- for example, most lists said to avoid cabbage, which is the food most proven to help heal ulcers! we don't have much science to answer this, but most find it beneficial to avoid acidic foods like citrus & coffee, alcohol & fatty foods. If spicy foods irritate then avoid. See comment:.

Question 10

how would i be able to tell if i have a stomach ulcer?

Accepted Answer

Look for the signs: Many patients describe it as a burning or gnawing feeling between the bellybutton and the chest.
The stomach upset caused by ulcers typically lasts anywhere from a few minutes to several hours and may be temporarily relieved by taking antacids.
Foods that are high in acid, such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, and coffee, may exacerbate ulcer pain; alcohol can also make ulcers hurt more. See your doc.
