I have been unofficially diagnosed with a stomach ulcer. My appointment to see the specialist isnt for another week and 1/2. Which sucks, because I feel sick/ nausea all the time. At this point the local family doctor has given me Prilosec( 2x daily) to relieve some discomfort. It is helping a little. What are the best foods to eat? Im thinking more bland foods ( toast,cereal,mashed potatoes,yogurt ...) and what is the best thing to drink. I know coffee,tea and caffinated drinks are big No Nos. But what about juices, or am i only left with water? Thanks for your time.

My whole body has been aching and I've had an elevated temperature for the last five days. My boyfriend said it sounded like west nile- is he just trying to scare me, or are those some of the symptoms?
