ulcers

[Guest guest]

<<If I had an ulcer back then, I sure didn't know about it. Had a gut

like an iron pot until about 1990-92. Treated for H-Pylori in 1995 and was

cured of the duodenal ulcer.>>

It is possible to have had bad ulcers and not had much in the way of

symptoms. Five years ago I got bleeding ulcers from NSAIDS and was

hospitalized. While there the doctor did an endoscopic exam and it showed

my stomach was full of not only the new ulcer but lots of old healed ulcers.

I remember getting gut aches but they weren't bad enough to go to the ER

over. One doctor told me to take Riopan. I didn't have insurance back then

and when I had black, tarry stools it was no big deal to me. I don't

remember that the bleeding was even connected to the pain. I was surprised

when the HMO advice nurse told me to get right to the ER over the tarry

stools and discomfort--it wasn't much pain even.

PS. Since your digestive tract lining cells turn over faster than any others in

the body, cell proliferating substances are very helpful. A couple that come to

mind are comfrey root and chlorella algea... -D

This is common with prednisone and Celebrex I had to stop Celebrex and now I

take prevacid at least 30 mins before my prednisone. And I make sure I eat

something with prednisone.
