Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Hey everybody...I'm going to try to keep this on-topic, but I really *really* want to rant about the medical system and how sick people who don't have money can't get care...but no, instead I'll talk about ulcers. My partner has a history of ulcers, and now for the last 2 weeks -- pretty much since he quit smoking--he's been having symptoms again. He's got a tender spot on the left side of his stomach, constant burping and heartburn that OTC medication isn't touching, and overall is very uncomfortable. Of course, per the above, he can't go see a doctor, but I'm worried because the tenderness, etc. could mean that there's perforation of the stomach lining, which of course can be dangerous. The only thing I was able to find about ulcers was a possible reference to using cayenne, but nothing about dosage or duration of the treatment or anything...does anyone have any experience w/ anything that could help control his condition, and can you please give me or direct me to specific enough information that I can try to help him w/out a doc's visit? *hoping hard* Thanks, ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
