After I eat, my stomache hurts right away :-( no matter what!
I cant take this pain any longer and I also dont have any health insurance right now so I am not able to visit the doctors. What can I do to avoid my pain?

Normally antibiotics are given if your ulcer is caused by a germ called heliobacter pylori. Some ulcers are caused by stress and over production of acid by the stomach...these ulcers would not respond to antibiotics. I can't say which kind of ulcer you have...but in either case you canget some antacid products at the drugstore that will make you feel better. Here are some of the names of them... Prilosec OTC, Tagamet, Maalox, Mylanta and Mylanta II. Take as directed on the package...It's best to get a tablet form and also a liquid form ...the liquid form you can take in between times if you still have breakthrough discomfort after taking the tablet. Eat a bland diet ...nothing real spicy or acidic.
In the meantime ...try to save up some money to see a doctor and just as a precaution ...if you do need antibiotics and are able to get them later...discuss with your doctor the over the counter medications you are using...as antacids can decrease the effectiveness of SOME antibiotics. Hope you're feeling better soon.

try some over the counter meds, such as pepcid ac, tagament, prilosec. this will decrease the acid and hopefully help the pain after eating.
