Symptoms of a Gastric Ulcer

The Symptoms

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms then you should get checked out for the presence of a gastric ulcer. You will need to see your doctor for a proper diagnosis.

The signs and symptoms of a gastric ulcer are almost opposite to the signs and symptoms of duodenal ulcers - the main differences are noticed in the timing and severity of the pain.

    * Gastric ulcers generally cause a dull aching pain, often right after eating.
    * Making a meal can often cause an increase in pain
    * Eating will not relieve pain as is the case with other types of ulcers
    * Indigestion and heartburn, or acid reflux
    * Nagging pain in the upper abdomen area below your breastbone
    * Episodes of nausea
    * A noticeable loss of appetite
    * Unplanned weight loss
    * Another less common symptom of a gastric ulcer is that about 3 in every 10 people are woken up at night by dull ulcer pains – this usually happens 3- 4 hours after eating.

The 10 Real Facts about Gastric Ulcers
your Doctor probably won't tell you about...

REAL FACT #1
Medical Doctors simply have no options other than antibiotics when it comes to prescribing treatments for ulcers caused by H. pylori infections. The prescription will almost always be either a Triple or Quadruple Therapy.

REAL FACT #2
H. pylori is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotic treatments. It is widely publicized that drug therapies have an average failure rate of up to 70% in the treatment of H. pylori infections.

REAL FACT #3
Many patients have been on more than 4 courses of the same antibiotic treatment - and they still have stomach ulcers and H. pylori. I have even heard of patients who have taken 8 consecutive Triple Therapy treatments, and they are still infected.

REAL FACT #4
65% of patients infected with H. pylori are simultaneously infected with Candida Albicans, and they don't even know about it! Candida Overgrowth is a life threatening infection that is extremely difficult to treat. The last thing you want to take if you have Candida is any form of antibiotics...

REAL FACT #5
Most Doctors spend more time treating the side effects of drug therapies, than they do when treating the original stomach ulcer.

REAL FACT #6
Correct diagnosis of an H. pylori infection is critical, yet patients are literally getting scammed by the conventional methods used for testing for H. pylori bacteria. (See how you can avoid this and also avoid getting treated for a condition you may not have, by signing up for our FREE H. Pylori Report below!)

REAL FACT #7
The latest drugs being produced for the eradication of H. pylori are now being made more powerful in an attempt to be more effective - but the result is that the negative side effects are getting proportionately worse. These side effects cause patients to abandon their treatment after a few days.

REAL FACT #8
The ONLY way to effectively CURE stomach ulcers caused by H. pylori infection, is to REMOVE THE CAUSE. Some Doctors still hold on to the outdated 'No Acid, No Ulcer' mentality, and insist on treating the symptoms.

REAL FACT #9
Each year nearly 6,000 people die of ulcer-related complications in the USA alone.

Frequently asked questions

Q. How come I have no symptoms but I can see that I am bleeding internally?

A. Some ulcers may produce no symptoms at all. You may be completely unaware that you have an ulcer until you have occasional painless bleeding episodes and anemia.

The passage of smelly black, tarry stools may be your first sign of a bleeding ulcer.

If your ulcer is already at an advanced stage then repeated episodes of bleeding can be identified. Vomiting new blood which is bright red in color, or older digested blood that is dark and grainy, are also sure symptoms of a gastric ulcer that has started bleeding.

A bleeding ulcer is a medical emergency

Don’t waste any time getting immediate treatment. If your gastric ulcer is bleeding, then you may vomit bright new red blood, or older digested blood that looks like brown coffee grounds and have black, tarry bowel movements.

Q. Why do I feel dizzy and faint at times?

A. You need to check for the symptoms of a bleeding ulcer - if these are present then the dizziness and faintness will be due to a loss of blood. You should seek immediate treatment to stop the blood flow.

Q. Is it normal to experience intermittent and different pains?

A. This differs from person to person but many people do have periods of ulcer pain followed by pain free periods that can last for several days or even months.

Most people will try an over-the-counter antacid treatment if this is their first exposure to stomach ulcers. Click here to find out why antacids only offer temporary relief and end up doing more harm than good - Beware!!
