This is impossible to predict without knowing you. And probability estimate will need to factor in many things we do not know agout you. Everyone is different. As Yogi Berra once said: "It is hard to make predictions. Especially about the future." Go to uptodate.com and read abut gastric ulcers and then discuss with your Drs.
