Gastric ulcers do not cause you to gain weight directly, but the pain increases when your stomach is empty, so many people eat more often and more food than usual. It is best to be tested to find out what kind of ulcer you have and begin medication. Some ulcers resolve with medicines like Prevacid DR, others require antibiotics plus antacids....many doctors advise patients to consume 6 small meals per day.

What else can I help you with?
