This one is not: good to guess about. Please seek medical attention. For proper assessment you will need medical history, physical exam and indicated tests. Take care.

Not ulcer: Generally food helps the pain from ulcer disease, not make it worse. If you are not vomiting coffee grounds or having black bowel movements, you probably aren't bleeding. Best to be evaluated by your primary care. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
