Abdominal pain: The symptoms of a stomach ulcer can include: upper abdominal pain, nausea, acid reflux symptoms, black stool. The gold standard for diagnosis is an EGD (esophagograstoduodenoscopy). This allows direct visualization of the ulcer with possible biopsy.

Ulcer: Abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea are common symptoms of an ulcer or inflammation of the stomach (gastritis). During an endoscopy or EGD, yes an ulcer would be/should be seen in your stomach.
