There is some new evidence that seems to indicate that stomach ulcers may be caused by a virus. Stress does cause many conditions though and can worsen any you have. I hope they get it all settled down for you soon....being sick is no picnic....I know all too well.

As much pain and suffering you've gone through, the symtoms alone should have caused a well haste exploritory of your stomach and colon. But then again, you are in Canada where heart surgery, removal of brain tumors, and other life necessary procedures are scheduled 6 months to 2 years after they are needed.

Wrong!   He had a lot of things going on his life causing him physical symptoms.    He may do well with medication for his stomach but ulcers were not what have been hurting him most.
To SirKenin, I hope your ulcer/antibiotics will help you to feel better...  Apparently there has been recent evidence antibiotics can help with stomach ulcers in addition to the usual H2 blockers.

Thank God you're not a doctor, and don't make these decisions every day to take someone's life so literally into your hands.   What did you say your degree was in again?

I had one, and the doc gave me a pencillin-based antibiotic (bad move doc LOL), and some pepto bismol, and even though the allegeric reaction to the pencillin kept me from completing the treatment, it still worked so well that I didn't have any stomach trouble for several years. Give it a shot.

Check out this article:

http://www.umm.edu/patiented/articles/what_causes_peptic_ulcers_000019_2.htm

Stress could be what makes you more susceptible, but it is no longer believed to be a cause.  If you have ulcers caused by h. pylori then the antibiotics should do the trick.

If they don't work get ready for an endoscopic exam.

Skipping meals will only aggravate the problem.

Many stomach ulcers are caused by a bacteria, H. Pylori (shortened name).  It's not yet understood how the H. Pylori is introduced into the system, but it thrives in the acidic atmosphere of the stomach.  Treatment includes a antibiotic cocktail (two to three different antibiotics given simultaneously) and an acid reducing medication.  Reducing the amount of acid in the stomach assists in killing and getting rid of the H. Pylori.

I've been treated twice for it.

Edited to add:  Initially, a blood test can be used to test for H. Pylori.  After treatment however, a breath test must be used.

Just to be silly, we call the H. Pylori "Helicopter Pilots" in the lab where I work.

Don't take it from me. It comes from all the canadians I work with who explain why the left Canada. Some went on about how there parents and grandparents are on 6 month waiting list for heart caths, kidney transplants, biopsy procedures, etc..... all because of the screwed up Free Health Care system that Canada offers. It just goes to show that nothing is for free. Strings are always attached.

Status: offline 		I have had problems with my stomach for years. I have had the scope done twice and just recently because of stomach pains I was getting daily. My Dr had me on nexium  and didnt seem to help. Two weeks ago I hurt my neck and went to the chiropractor and he had a sign about cures for many things including ulcer and other stomach problems by eating PURE honey, so I bought a quart and I eat a tablespoon in the morning and in the evening. And my stomach feels GREAT!! My stomach hurt daily, and now its gone no pains nothing, that was 2 weeks ago and it also helps fatigue I feel more alert...This is what it said on a site that I went to about Pure Honey....
Ulcers: If you consume 1 tablespoon of Pure Honey daily, at the end of six months, your ulcers will have disappeared.

Also drinking apple cider with the honey is supose to help many things as well.
