Answer 2

I'm not a doctor or a nurse, but I am a student, and I used to get ulcers all the time, and it was due directly to my anxiety!

According to my family physician, the ulcers are caused by chemicals that your stomache makes when you get anxious or stressed. I'm not sure if this is what you're referring to, we haven't studied Peptic Ulcer disease yet, but if you try to cut out some of the stress and eat less acidic food (i.e. oranges, dairy products) it can really help.
