Second ulcer serious: If you've had surgery to correct a perforated ulcer, and you now have recurrent ulcer symptoms refractory to full-dose prilosec, please seek medical attention. Also, at this time, stop taking aspirin, advil, aleve, (naproxen) ibuprofen, Motrin (unless under doctor's advice), avoid tobacco and alcohol. Recurrent ulcer disease raises concern for an underlying cause that needs evaluation and correction.
