One hurts less when you eat and one hurts more when you eat. I haven't actually had one but I did have a bout if mild hypochondria LOL. Hope you feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ulcer#post-385479 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 07:54:06 +0000 spaniellove 385479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Seriously!</p> <p>Oh and tips until you see a doctor...you could try an OTC med like Prilosec, Prevacid, Zantac, etc. It's not going to work right away like Tums, but if you're having ongoing heartburn-like pain it might help. Feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ulcer#post-385475 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 07:46:47 +0000 mrbee 385475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Holy moly!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ulcer#post-385472 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 07:44:30 +0000 Smurfette 385472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice but hope you feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ulcer#post-385459 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 07:26:45 +0000 spaniellove 385459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had bleeding ulcers before - it took me years to figure out exactly what was going on. In college I kept having gnawing pains and got a barium x-ray, then a few years later the pain got a lot worse and an endoscopy confirmed the ulcers. In my case it wasn't h.pylori but the fact that the doctors at student health kept prescribing ibuprofen for my migraines and it finally ate away at my stomach lining. So I'm not allowed to have NSAIDs anymore. I went on Nexium for a while and it never came back! </p> <p>Let me tell you why you SHOULD get this checked out - a few years ago my friend kept asking me if I thought her heartburn and pain might be more serious, and I kept telling her this story. One day she suddenly went into septic shock from meningitis and came very very close to dying. It turned out she did have ulcers, and they enabled the meningitis bacteria to cross over into her bloodstream very quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ulcer#post-385442 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 07:02:12 +0000 boiledpnut 385442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Good luck and I hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ulcer#post-385441 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 07:01:03 +0000 anonysquire 385441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boiledpnut: thanks guys.

Made me sick as a dog, but it healed the ulcer. You need to get it checked out because it could get worse and bleed or perforate. Plus if it's one caused by H. pylori, you really should get that treated because it's very contagious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ulcer#post-385412 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 04:44:19 +0000 anonysquire 385412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: dang. Ya I know that I just kind of wanted to avoid going to the doctor. Just got on my husbands insurance plan and hate the searching for a doctor hunt. I guess I'll just keep chewing tums :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ulcer#post-385411 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 04:34:34 +0000 mrbee 385411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ulcers are generally caused by a bacteria:<br /> <a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_pylori" rel="nofollow">http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_pylori</a></p> <p>They can be killed by antibiotics... no need to suffer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ulcer#post-385345 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 00:23:04 +0000 anonysquire 385345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone on here ever had an ulcer? What did you do for relief? I'm not positive I have an ulcer but after having stomach pains for like 2-3 months that I've always though was heartburn I might be changing my mind. Anyways just wondering if anyone has any tips til I see a doctor. </p> <p>Oh and antacids don't work :( </p>
