Answer 4

Of course they can, your stomach does not feel well so it can;t take as much food as it normally would, and just by your brain knowing you have ulcers you are biassed by something you know u got. Best you can do is watch what you eat, don;t let long hours go by betwenn meals, eat things that won;t irritate your tummy, avoid coffe, alcohol, spicy meals and sauces, cigarretes.
Cranberry juice is good for a stomach with ulcers, bananas are good to they will even protect the stomach lininig. Control stress, meditate, take it easy.
Good luck and take good care.

Answer 5

I would see a doctor. Such rapid weight loss might be a sign of something else. The only way I would think you would lose rapid weight with an ulcer would be if you changed your diet considerably. Otherwise, you would be smart to check that out.
