Common Questions and Answers about Stomach ulcer location
stomach
Hello,
Gastritis can cause pain in the upper abdomen after eating .Peptic ulcer disease causes upper left quadrant pain that usually begins 2 hours after a meal. It gets better with over the counter antacids. Stomach flu can cause indigestion and abdominal discomfort. Viral gastroenteritis can lead to nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The exact location of pain and other details will help in determining the accurate cause .Take light meals. Avoid spicy fried foods.
In reviewing my medical records from my gastroenterologist it seems they keep bouncing between a diagnoses of "non ulcer dyspepsia" and "peptic ulcer disease". The non ulcer dyspepsia is a fancy term for ulcer like stomach pain without an ulcer and no clear cause. Then I occasionally do show up with peptic ulcers, which I thought were from accidentally taking a migraine medication that had aspirin in it...but I've never been checked for the pylori bacteria.
Hello and welcome to the forum. I would ask your doctor for guidance. They recommended the proton pump inhibitor and prescribed it? I think if they prescribed it for a particular symptom and you no longer have it, I would consider holding off on taking the medication. Like all drugs, these too have risks as well as benefits. Things like a long term side effect on calcium metabolism that can lead to bone fracture or osteoporosis which is associated with PPI's.
While burning pain can indicate stomach problems (an ulcer or gastritis), the location of the pain leads one to have concern about your liver as the source of the pain. If the liver is not functioning normally you can have increased gas. If the pain is episodic and related to food consumption (especially fried or fatty foods) then gallstone disease could be a cause. On the other hand, a constant burning pain would also make us suspicious for liver inflammation, or hepatitis.

Why do i have pain in my upper left stomach, nausea after i eat, loss of appetite, and everytime i drink water it makes it worse
Hi Winters
I am not a doctor but when I experienced symptoms similar to yours I went to my famly doctor and she said it was probably an ulcer or irritation of the lining of the stomach. She sent me to a specialist who performed an EGD - scope goes down the throat into the stomach and I was diagnosed with stomach ulcers. Once I started taking the meds for that, my pain and symptoms went away.
Intense pain in my stomach area, hard to describe, so bear with me. I am a 23 year old female, 5'1 and about 80lbs. Tuesday night I began getting these sharp pains in my stomach. It is right under my rib cage in the center, just above my belly button. I think it's not gas pains because it's not in my intestinal area. These pains come in waves, every 20-40 seconds, I can feel it slowly building, then reaches its peak and fades out. Then it happens again.
I woke up later
that night at about 2am with severe stomach pain. The pain has become mild andcomes and goes. Could I have an ulcer?
probably should consult with a GI specialist for more testing but an upper endoscope would probably be a good idea followed by colonoscopy. Still sounds like ulcer though with the location of pain unless your passing a kidney stone and your IBS symptoms are going bezerk but that doesn't explain blood.
The reason stomach acid does not destroy your stomach is because your stomach is lined with mucus membranes. Stomach acid is not like the advertisements that show the acid in a container and a TUMS is added to the container and the acid is neutralized. Your stomach has acid pumps that spew acid whenever food or liquid is added in your stomach. I do not know how many acid pumps there are in a human's stomach, but enough to attack whatever is added to your stomach for digestion purposes.
During the treatment, I began have mild queasiness and aching in my epigastric area (many areas)
I developed an angry vaginal yeast infection. I treated that, and began probiotics right away. By then my stomach was very painful and churning burning ALL the time.
The foods I was eating regularly started making me feel like vomiting. Like potatoes, then beef, then chicken, cauliflower etc etc It' s as though I was/am still getting allergic to all these foods.
