A peptic ulcer is a defect in the lining of the stomach or the first part of the small intestine. If the peptic ulcer is located in the stomach. it is called a gastric ulcer. If the ulcer is in the duodenum, it is called a duodenal ulcer.You may have had tests to help your doctor diagnose your ulcer. You likely have had a test to see whether or not your stomach is infected by bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) -- a common cause of ulcers.Most peptic ulcers will heal within about 4 - 6 weeks after treatment begins. Even if your symptoms go away quickly, DO NOT STOP taking medications your doctor prescribed for you.Diet and LifestyleOverall, the best diet for people with peptic ulcer disease is one that is healthy and balanced.Eating more often and eating diets with extra milk or dairy are NOT helpful and may even cause more stomach acid.Avoid foods that cause problems or discomfort for you. Most often, this list may include alcohol, coffee, caffeinated soda, fatty foods, chocolate, and spicy foods.Avoid late night snacks.Other lifestyle tips that may help your ulcer healed and your symptoms better are:If you smoke or chew tobacco, try to quit. Tobacco will slow the healing of your ulcer and make it more likely that the ulcer will come back. Your doctor can help.Reduce your stress and watch for stressful, tense times. Stress can bother your reflux problem.Avoid drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn). Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) to relieve pain. Take any of your medicines with plenty of water.Drug TreatmentIf you have a peptic ulcer and an H. pylori infection, the standard treatment uses different combinations of medications, taken for 5 - 14 days.Most often you will take two different antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI).These medicines may cause nausea, diarrhea, and other side effects. Do not just stop taking them without talking to your doctor first.If you have an ulcer without an H. pylori infection, or one that is caused by taking aspirin or NSAIDs, your doctor will likely prescribe a proton pump inhibitor for 8 weeks.Taking antacids as needed between meals, and then at bedtime, may help healing also. Ask your doctor.If your ulcer was caused by aspirin, ibuprofen, or other NSAIDs, your doctor may have you take a drug called misoprostol to prevent future ulcers.Follow-upYou will have follow-up visits with your doctor to see whether your ulcer is healing.At times, your doctor may perform an upper endoscopy after treatment to make sure healing has taken place.Follow-up testing to check that the H. pylori bacteria are no longer present should be done, but no sooner than 2 weeks after therapy is completed. Test results before that time may not be accurate.When to Call the DoctorSeek urgent help if you:Develop sudden, sharp abdominal painHave a rigid, hard abdomen that is tender to touchHave symptoms of shock, such as fainting, excessive sweating, or confusionVomit blood or have blood in your stool (especially if it's maroon, dark, or tarry black)Call your doctor if:You feel dizzy or light-headedYou have ulcer symptomsA full feeling after eating a small meal portion Weight loss that cannot be explainedVomitingLoss of appetiteReferencesLanza FL, Chan FK, Quigley EM: Practice Parameters Committee of the American College of Gastroenterology.

Does Ulcers cause weight gain?
Yes indeed it can. I have just learned I have a duodenal ulcer after months of feeling starving hungry and eating every hour to relieve the pain of the ulcer which I interpreted as hunger. I've put on 10 kilos because of this phantom hunger pain. If you feel hungry all the time, like a dull ache below your breast bone, only an hour after eating a good meal, chances are you have an ulcer. I tried antacids and immediately noticed the difference. The pain went away but I have to keep having them all throughout the day. If you're not sure try Gaviscon as it has a longer lasting effect. You'll soon know if it is genuine hunger or the burning from an ulcer. Ulcers are very common by the way and can be treated with antibiotics, diet changes and relaxation.
