Did you know that 90% of ulcers are caused by a bacteria called Helicobactor Pylori - H. Pylori, for short. When doctors give you medicine to cure the ulcer, it will come back if the bacteria is not eradicated. First get a blood test for H. Pylori. Then, if it is positive, the doctor should prescribe two kinds of antibiotics - aerobic and anaerobic. This will eradicate the H. Pylori and prevent ulcers from recurring or from new ulcers being formed. Take my word for it -- I went through ONE FULL YEAR of stomach pain keeping a journal of everything I ate every day until I found out about H. Pylori. I was tested positive - given the proper aerobic and anaerobic antibiotics and the pain has never come back. Ask your doctor to test you. Good luck. Let me know if this helps. Love and Prayers, Elaine
