==>Was the sauerkraut in the fridge at the store, in a glass jar,

organic and unpasteurized? If not, then it could have caused problems

for you. If it was, then it is possible you have h. pylori bacteria,

which causes ulcers. If you get an endoscope it will clarify whether

you have it or not, and then you can do natural treatments to get rid

of it. You can take 1 tsp baking soda in 6 ounces of warm water,

sipping slowly until your heartburn subsides, and if that doesn't work

try ginger or fennel tea, or at the last resort take Pepto Bismol

alternating with doses of Milk of Magnesia (Pepto Bismol causes

constipation).
