I've had this for some time now, went to throat doctor/dentist and found nothing odd. Can I have an ulcer? In the mornings or whenever I lie down and spit there is blood - bright red blood! Again this doesn't happen often but when it does I do have a slight burning sensation. Need tips on how to deal with ulcer without medicines! Natural foods and what can help this thing go away! I haven't had it for quite some time now and I hope it's not the bacterial kind where it'll just keep coming back. I have to get rid of this thing! I'm only 20 too young to have an ulcer!!

If you're worried about having an ulcer, you should know that gastric ulcers are caused by bacteria and not by viruses as was stated by someone else. These require precription medications. Even at the age of 20 you're not too young to have one. And an ulcer is an open sore and can occur anywhere, including on the skin. Not knowing where the burning sensation is (in your mouth, your esophagus or in your stomach?) is hindering me slightly. My guess is that this isn't a canker sore or any sort of dental problem and I assume you've checked for a visible source of the blood.
So, this problem is off and on, you spit blood but I don't know how much, you have a slight burning sensation somewhere in or on your body and I know nothing else about your condition. I suggest you get a referral to a gastroenterologist.

When was your last TB test? Get a tuberculosis test.
Get a different doctor. Blood isn't something you can treat yourself. You need to get medicine. After the bleeding issue has resolved, then you can try different things to prevent it's recurrence. Until then, you need help. Medical help.
THIS IS SERIOUS!!!!
A bleeding ulcer can kill you. Keep in mind that you don't know exactly where the blood is coming from, it could be life threatening.
Read a book called "Natural foods they don't want you to know about" It's changed my life.

Don't diagnose yourself. Get a regular doctor, not a throat specialist. What would a throat doctor know about stomach ulcers? .Spitting blood is a problem.

How can you be sure that it is ulcer ? Please do consult a good doctor as soon as possible because you say you had this problem for sometime now.

ulcers are caused by virus and you need real meds not all that health food junk.
