A member asked:

Doctor suspects ulcer, negative h.pylori but still pain with zantac and ppi. how long to heal? dark tar stool as well. help!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"Suspects" ulcer?: Why do we not "know" that there's an ulcer? How do we know H. Pylori is negative? Did you undergo EGD with biopsy or just a blood or breath test. With refractory symptoms and evidence of continued bleeding (tarry stools) an investigation including EGD is necessary.
