I am currently suffering with an ulcer, Anemia has caused low blood pressure and I have little to no appetite. The toilet has become my second home and I am about to lose my mind.

Omoprozole is what the doctor gave me and it not doing anything

The medical community is next to useless for many issues like that.

I’ve been dealing with food allergies all my life and they are now to the point where all I can eat is oatmeal and chicken. ANYTHING else sets me off.

When I talk to doctors about this and tell them my symptoms, they just look at me like I have two heads or make inane comments like (and this is a quote) “You sure have weird symptoms”. And from that one all I got was some Nexium and told to here, try this and see if it helps.

I will add you to the list of people I am praying for with food issues.

So — all they gave you is an antacid.

Prilosec by a different name.

Find a Dr that’ll get you an antibiotic.

Had a doctor back in the 1990’s advocating treating ulcers with calf scours tablets, which contain antibiotics.

If I got stymied every other way, I guess I’d try it, but that’s your call.

Get the poop test for h. Pylori. If positive, get the triple antibiotic course.

Your ulcer will disappear.

Pfffttt. That does nothing. It takes days to kick in.

Please tell him to give you the antibody. They gave it to me when in pre ulcer state. Might want a different doctor: osteopath

Just a thought. The stuff seems have universal properties for many ailments. No doubt they tried everything else before trying this. =================================================================================== "The giant gastric ulcer was affirmed to be caused by S. stercoralis infection and the patient was treated with ivermectin with improvement of epigastric pain. On reevaluation 6 weeks later the patient was asymptomatic, had gained weight, parasitological stool examinations were negative, and upper endoscopy showed complete ulcer healing."

#29 Use the Pepto-Bismol Caplets Ultra pills. Jut swallow them. No pink teeth or tongue : )

Settles the stomach quickly. Eat Yogurt as well like Yoplait.
I use to have acid ingestation but the pills fixed that where the other products did nothing for me.

For Anemia I would think the doctor would tell you how much iron pills to take. Eat more food with iron.

Have you had a good Gastroenterologist do a full scale Upper GI scope on you stomach and got actual pictures of what you are dealing with? If not, I recommend that you do so at once. Anemia is how I found my stomach cancer.
