A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ulcer pain: If you have a peptic ulcer of the duodenum or the stomach and have severe pain despite avoiding spicey foods, caffeine,alcohol,aspirin and anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or Aleve, and are taking proper doses of ppi medication like omeprazole or nexium, I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist as complications like a penetrating ulcer or pancreatitis are a concern. Take maalox also
