What are the symptoms of a stomach ulcer?

What are signs and symptoms of a stomach ulcer?

• I do plan on going to the doctors but i have no heath care at the moment. I have applied to medicare and know it will be covered at a later date but it won't help with prescriptions until i receive it. So i just want to know what the signs and symptoms are and if there is medication they give you for it or what....

  Greetings, I myself have been fighting ulcers, they aren't very fun. Here are some symptoms, Frequent heartburn, sudden belching, hot spots in your stomach (feels like someone's branding your insides with a hot poker over and over in 1 spot or more) dark stools that smell very foul (dark stools are due to bleeding ulcers) dizziness (from lower blood count), you will feel hot (stomach acid getting into your blood stream), nausea, blood in your vomit, sever pain after eating high acid content foods or black pepper etc, low appetite and/or get full fast when eating, sudden and unexpected loss in weight, hurts worse when stomach is eating or hurts when trying to sleep.. There are ways you can treat and ultimately get rid of them. Milk is very bad for them because milk turns into lactic acid when it digests, acid is bad. hot peppers help with the bleeding, but the best things to take are Aloe Vera Gel with x3 concentrate mixed with Aloe Vera Gel, Papaya enzymes, they are alkaline which reduce acid levels also it's an enzyme so it helps break down foods so your stomach wont produce as much acid, you can also try a Parasite Cleans, parasites can cause them and make them worse by flourishing in them and eating helpful bacteria in your GI track, the cleanse has really helped mine, in time will cure them. However follow directions on the parasite cleans and you should be alright, also be sure you have no negative reactions to any of the herbs in the cleans. Other things that help are oatmeal with added wheat germ, acidophiles will add extra organisms to help your intestines if they bother you... well hope this was helpful and I hope and pray you do not have ulcers because they aren't any fun if they get very bad, it hospitalized me and I was down and out for several weeks in pain I wouldn't wish on my greatest enemies. Doctors will prescribe things like Protonix to inhibit the proton acid pumps in your stomach, these can have negative long term reactions to your belly. Also there is a known parasite called H-pylori, i think is how it's spelled, that will will cause ulcers by burrowing into your stomach lining, antibiotics will get rid of these,, perhaps the parasite cleans will too. after taking antibiotics tho you want to take probiotic foods or supplements. Smoking, drinking alcohol, and coffee can really upset them, tomatoes do too cause they are high acid content.. anyways sry had to edit and add some more things to this answer. Again, I hope it helps :)
