1.
Gastric ulcers occur in the stomach while duodenal ulcers occur in the duodenum.
2.
Gastric ulcers cause stomach pain 1-2 hours after eating. Duodenal ulcers cause pain 3-4 hours later.
3.
Gastric ulcer pain cannot be relieved by eating. Stomach pain in duodenal ulcers can be relieved by eating.
4.
Gastric ulcers cause hematemesis or vomiting of blood while duodenal ulcers cause melena or blood in the stool.
5.
A gastric ulcer has a special diet while duodenal ulcers do not.

"Peptic ulcer"=ulceration whose cause is(assumed to be) the acid environment (HCL) of the stomach "Gastric ulcer" = ulcer in the stomach; can be peptic or malignant "Duodenal ulcer" = ulcer in the first part of the small bowel, almost always peptic. So acid related ulcers in the stomach and duodenum are both "peptic" ulcers Hope that helps.

For peptic ulcer take Tagament you will have to get it from your doctor, but worth it because over time it will seal up the hole and make you better. Just think no more ulcer to worry about.

duodenal is right above your stomach, gastric is in it, peptic is in the intestine below it.
Get tested for H pyllori, NOW! This is a bacteria that often is the culprit. A month of medication, and the problem is gone.
Not a thing to play around with.
Possibly your spleen

People with stomach ulcers usually describes the pain as being widespread over the upper abdomen (may be a little left side). When someone has a duodenal ulcer the pain is typically described as sharp and burning in nature with a specific tender point located in the middle or right side of upper abdomen.

Hello.
My advice, based on the Edgar Cayce readings to help relieve the discomfort and prevent ulcers are:
to drink cold water;
Beware of stimuli, especially alcohol. No condiments nor highly seasoned foods: spices, peppers, pickles, kraut or such (duodenal ulcer);
Whole wheat, pressed, cleansed and pressed into well prepared gruel with milk and only beet sugar, in small quantities. Graham crackers may be used;
Breakfast have gruels of corn or rice or such. Little or none of citrus fruit;
Well cooked vegetables of leafy nature. No potatoes, carrots, beets, nor turnips or anything of such;
Steel cut oats well cooked, dry cereal which carry vitamin in same, with plenty of milk and malted milks (duodenal ulcers);
Keep away from malt however malted milk is very well. If the raw egg yolk is taken in malted milk once a day it will be most beneficial (duodenal ulcers);
Plenty of cabbage in slaw, thoroughly grated, used with whichever character of dressing is desired (duodenal ulcers).

peptic and gastric are the same
duodenal occurs in the duodenom
they usually present different symptoms-before versus after eating. the area you ask about is the upper right quadrant and there are many organs there-ranging from gall bladder to part of your liver, intestines, etc.

Fresh aloe vera. I eat it before,and after meals. And if really have pain, i eat a little during the day. It cures my stomach ulcer and it cures it when it comes back after eating lots of sugar and getting off my healthy diet of mostly vegetables
