A member asked:

Loss of appetite, after i eat my stomach hurts and i feel nauseous. can this be an ulcer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Future Endoscopy?...: Gastric ulcers can grow in intensity with eating, while duodenal ulcers decrease with eating. If you have had chronic concerns with GERD (aka acid reflux) and/or gastritis (due to foods, meds, lifestyle, stress), then Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) is possible. Avoid hot/spicy/greasy/fried/caffinated/alcoholic foods and drinks as a precaution. Prilosec OTC is a good first med to use, but see GI/PCP !
