Can you get stomach ulcers?

Question

Can you get stomach ulcer from not eating when you're hungry? I've lately been not eating because of school schedules ( I made a mistake of picking my schedule!)....Anyway, too late now, and i don't want to drop a class, but my question is this.

Answer 1

maybe not the ulcer but it can be as bad or worse and eventually cause one. The acid in your stomach is turning on itself and can cause severe gastritis. you have to eat. Take time to prepare food in containers when you are not in school, on weekends. Peel, wash, slice and dice and cook. Have them ready and bag or put in containers so you can grab rhem and go. You can buy some healthy things to eat in small portions also. cheese and crackers and apples or grapes. Any fruit washed, any peanut butter on crackers, you need protein to build the brain so you can function. Go to wal mart and buy the protein powder drink mix and have it for breakfast. Peanut butter sandwich and a bananna is good too. Lots of foods travel well. Get a little cooler pack and a soft lunch cooler and take food with you. eat it on the run. Please, take the time to take care of yourself, it is not healthy to go on like this. Good luck. also, don't forget the water. Your body and the brain are water thirsty and y9ou are depriving them when they need it most! Also, nuts are good source of protein and the good fats you need, esp. almonds, walnuts and pecans. A few go a long way with fruit to make you feel full.

What Not To Eat With Stomach Ulcers

Answer 3

A stomach ulcer (also called a peptic ulcer) is a small erosion (hole) in the gastrointestinal tract. The most common type, duodenal, occurs in the first 12 inches of small intestine beyond the stomach. Ulcers that form in the stomach are called gastric ulcers. An ulcer is not contagious or cancerous. Duodenal ulcers are almost always benign, while stomach ulcers may become malignant. The usual advice is to avoid foods containing substances that are capable of increasing stomach acid, such as caffeine and alcohol, as well as known stomach irritants, such as aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs. However, it is now known that well over 90 percent of duodenal ulcers are caused by a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. A two-week course of certain antibiotics and an acid reducer can be curative in most instances and can also prevent recurrences, which used to be common. See a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment. I hope this helps you. And good luck.

Answer 4

H. pylori causes stomach ulcers. A peptic ulcer is a bacterial infection and has nothing to do with your eating habits, unless you ingest the bacteria obviously. You're more likely to become anemic if you continue to not eat. I'd rather deal with a bacterial ulcer than anemia.

Answer 5

No, I seriously doubt that you will get ulcers from not eating. Usually stomach ulcers arise from stomach acids...not from a lack of food.

Answer 6

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

more than likely an ulcer will occur from the strees. normally your body only produces what it needs, if you are getting an ulcer have it treated and lay off the soda and other acidic foods.
