Peptic ulcer: Depends on what caused it. If you are exposed to the same cause you could still get it.

Not necessarily.: They tend to recur if u take forbidden drinks- alcohol, coffee, soda, certain meds that u have mentioned, exposed to constant stress etc. Hope all goes well with u!http://m.Wikihow.Com/treat-ulcers.
