You need to talk to a school counselor or pastor at your church. You do need to see a doctor but the symptoms of stomach ulcers can also be the symptoms of other problems as well. You can't diagnose yourself. A school counselor, pastor, or school nurse should be able to help you find a free or low cost medical clinic as well as arrange a meeting with your mom. Yup. Gonna have to be that way. It's a hard thing, but if your mom is not listening to you or taking you seriously having a school nurse, counselor or principal or your pastor sit down to have a meeting with the three of you together may help her see that you really are not feeling well and she needs to focus on you right now.
Every community offers free or low cost counseling which is something that is sounds like both you and your brother could benefit from. I really urge you to find out about this from the people I listed above, no matter what else happens or doesn't happen.
Also, can you talk to your Dad? Is he around or can you phone/email him? Maybe he can get you to a doctor or a therapist. If that is not the case, what about other family? Grandparents, Aunt or Uncle etc?
Pay attention, because I am going to tell you about another option here but you need to read about it, think about it, read it, and then think about it A LOT before you decide this is what you want to do. You are smart enough to get online, sign up for Yahoo! Questions, express your concerns fairly well etc. I am going to assume that this option has crossed your mind. You can call child protective services (or whatever name your state agency goes by).
This is an EXTREME measure - make sure you have tried everything else you can possibly think of and given the other options time to work. If you think your mom will be upset by the school principal or your pastor talking to her about her daughter needing medical attention and / or counseling - you better believe this one is not going to make her happy. - On the other hand, if you can't get any help from anywhere else this is a last ditch option.
This will get your whole family involved, your brother, your mom, her boyfriend and anyone else in the house.
You will have to deal with all people who are affected by the call you make. Everything that everyone has wanted to avoid talking about will be brought out. There will be tears and upset and fighting and anger. What you want is for everything to get better after the storm, but there are no guarantees.
Child Protective Services was set up for people to report suspected abuse or neglect of children. This includes children who are able to report their parents or other adults who may be abusing / neglecting them. If you cannot get this solved any other way then definitely consider calling them, but please, please, please unless someone is in immediate danger try all of the other options first, even try them repeatedly... sometimes it's only the 'squeaky wheel that gets the grease'.
I hope all this was helpful.

Go see your school nurse, of course. Ulcers can be a serious problem so I would say you should have the nurse talk to your Mom if they believe you have a problem in this regard. If your Mom still won't do anything that is somewhat abusive.

First off, you should be medically diagnosed. If your mom won't take you to the doctor then confide in a school nurse or family friend. Maybe they can intervene for you or help you find a free clinic in your area where you can go to get diagnosed and on proper medication. Best wishes.

You LOOKED IT UP???
Self diagnosis is just plain stupid. Go to a doctor. If you are diagnosed with stomach ulcers, you have proof for your parents AND you can get treatment.
Or...maybe you'd rather stay sick and try for the attention.
Doesn't seem to be working tho, does it?
I'm sorry your Mom is being so selfish - but See a doc - ASAP
