Hi Steve!

Are you talking about bleeding peptic ulcers. Then yes I've had plenty of stomach ulcers. I usually take prescribed meds if the symptoms and pain are mild, but if I'm in severe pain I will go to the ER. You should seek medical attention ASAP--that's my advice. Until then stay away from foods & beverages that have a high concentration of acid (no tomato's, carbonated beverages, etc).

Hope you feel better!

Hi Lee,

As far as I know that's what it is.
Im not in any pain at all, that's the most annoying thing about it. Its been like this for a while and when I saw the Doctor last month he said go on a liquid diet for a while to give my gut a rest...but that doesnt seem to have done much to be honest. He said to contact them if things dont change after a month. The month is up next week but I also see the dietician then too. So I might see if she has any ideas.

Regards,
Steve

Steve,

An all liquid diet is no fun. If you can tolerate dairy you could probably drink milk shakes

Going to the dietitian sounds like a good idea. I prefer trial and error with the Crohn's, but with stomach ulcers--the foods & beverages that irritate them are practically the same for everyone.
Have a great day!
Lee
