A member asked:

Is it possible to have an ulcer without h. pylori but hidden where an endoscopy can't see?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: The sensitivity of endoscopy in detecting gastric or duodenal ulcers approaches 95% so, although an ulcer could be missed it would be an unusual occurrence.
