A member asked:

Do i have a stomach ulcer? i spend most afternoons feeling hungry (gnawing feeling) in my stomach - a bit like i need to burp.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps: The gnawing feeling you are experiencing may be an early symptom of stomach ulcer. Has your stool been black and sticky, may be digested blood, and is a sign of upper GI bleeding. Note, pepto bismal will also turn stool black.
