Need close follow-up: When symptoms like pain get worse, the questions include: is the disease spreading, is the medication no longer working, is there a new problem, etc.? An ulcer 3 years ago should have healed. Is there a problem with recurrent gastritis or repeat ulcers? Is there stomach cancer, or is there a gallstone problem? A G.I. Specialist can recheck to figure things out. Another endoscopy may be needed.

Ulcer: Yes, i would take Protonix (or prevacid, or nexium, (esomeprazole) or prilosec, or dexilant) and carafate. However, you should also see a gastroenterologist and have another upper endoscopy to evaluate your pouch and assess to see if your ulcer is worse.
