For several weeks I had been having pain
in my mid abdomin. My docs did a series
of tests and decided it was probably an
ulcer. They finally found it when they
did an upper gi scope. It was causes by
h pylori. I took prev pack for 14 days
and still didnt get better. My doctors
are keeping me on prevacid, whith I dont
think is working. I wanted to take
nexium but I had an allergic reaction to
it. I am also takeing caraphate to coat
my ulcer. I am taking levsin for it too.
Nothing seems to be working. I am
miserable everyday. The docs keep
telling me just to give it time because
ulcers take time to heal. Well this
stupid thing has ruined my entire summer
and I am so sick of it. If anyone has
any suggestions for me please let me know.
This is driving me crazy!!!!! :x

I do feel for you !! Seems like you are
taking a lot of medications for it? My
husband had h pylori ulcer and it took
three courses of antibiotics to clear it .
I developed an ulcer in the late 80's (i
am 40 now) it was caused purely and simply
by stress and no knowledge of how to
handle my emotions in certain
circumstances, so I bottled it all up and
it finally erupted on the day I dicovered
that I was now divorced!!! I had 24 mouth
ulcers, 6 of which were on my tongue, and
one in my stomache,, I have taken
ranitidine 300mg daily but did not want
to rely on it so I now agreed with my
doctors that I only take it when I feel an
attack coming on and the rest is tryong
to destress my life!!!! I also had a
brain heamorrage
and stroke after stress so I am serious
when I talk of just letting go of things
that simply are not worth head room, dexi

Lol.
caca mate ive had an ulcer for atleast 9
months now and I dont know what is going
on. Theres no h pylori, its sjut from
eating poorly/ stress or whateva.
Ive tried eating right etc but nothings
helped. Ive had every type of drug but
nothings worked so I started going to a
natrupath im drinking tea and what ever
else... Thats worked abit but I keep
doing it up and drinking on the weekend.
Biggest mistake was doing x once. That
was really bad...

i have been suffering from ulcers for a
year. I am two years post gastric bypass
and this has ruined my life. Along with
the constant pain, I am totally depressed
because I cant do anything. I live on
pain medication that does not seem to come
close to touching it. All I can say is
do a lot of praying and find a doc that
will listen and do something about it

More than 90% of ulcer cases are caused by
the bacterium helicobacter pylori. You
seem to be one of them.
A strong combination of antibiotics should
potentially rid you of the bacteria. Try
every combination possible. (ask your
doctor about bismuth.) I cannot stress
how important this information
is--marshall and warren just a couple of
weeks ago, won the nobel prize in medicine
for this. If one set of antibiotics does
not work, try another. Mind you, they
must be rather potent, and not just on the
counter types.
Just a side-note: it is a myth that
ulcers are caused by stress. It is only
by coincidence that you get an ulcer
during a time of anxiety.

it will tell you what to do. I forgot to
add you can't have coffee either to it.
Good luck!

Are you fooling yourself? Do you not
consume sugar from the canes? Do you not
consume wheat? We constantly consume
food and water with bacteria. Do a
search on mycotoxins. You have been
fooled by popular belief.
