Every single time I eat my stomach hurts
so bad. Aometimes I feel as if I need to
throw up but I can't. Sometimes I get
dizzy. But usually I just have a very
hurtful pain. Could I have an ulcer?
Should I go to my doctor?

Of course u should go to the doctor, u
could have gastro-intestinal problems. I
had the same problem in the middle 80's
& the ulcer in my case is a peptic
ulcer says my doctor. This is a very
important matter that u should address
immediately. Some ot the test that they
do on u trying to find out where the
problem is not any fun at all, I was just
embarassed. But I had to let them do what
they had to do. My diet has changed
trememdously. It took me a very long time
to get to this point in my life. I've
suffered enough pain for quite a few
people, so when I see or hear someone
suffering, of course I would be glad to
help them out if I can. My son now is 22,
but when he was 15, he didn't take my
advice on what he ate at school, this
particular week he was in pain & he
said it felt like he had to make a bm, but
he couldn't. He said it hurted to bad, so
I question him about what he ate that
week, of course he told me he had pizza
for lunch everyday. I reminded him of
what I told him which was to at least get
a salad & eat more vegetables &
take his vitamins, my son was just hard
headed. I told him that, if he was going
to eat pizza everyday, that his bowels
would get locked up. I think he had a
small ulcer to. My son, q'be for short
said he thought he was getting ready to
die, I took hime to the pcp & he
immediately sent my son to the hospital,
i'm asking what's going on & wasn't
hearing nothing from anyone. I was
presistant & they said that the pcp
said he had an appendicitis, but he
doesn''t , his bowels are locked, I said
that's all. He hasn't had anymore
problems since. By not listening to his
mother he suffered great pain. We went to
the pharmacist @ picked up some laxative.
After about a week he was bake to normal
& he started eating more fruits &
vegetables. Hopefully you won't be like
my son. If it is an ulcer u need to stay
away from corn, citrus fruit or juices,
tomatoes, strawberries (seeds). Any type
of food that aggravates your stomach, no
fried foods at all, no mustard, ketchup,
no alcohol, because it will make the ulcer
much worst, no alcoholic drinks at all,
not even medicines with alcohol in it.
Myfavorite alcoholic drinks were, pina
colada daquiri, covesiur, & remy. I
haven't had any at all in 2-1/2 yrs. My
body right now is more important, so
that's why i'm sharing this with you.
Have u ever heard this saying: "u r what u
eat", it is so true. I don't eat out
anymore I cook my own food, because I
can't eat table salt, no black pepper, hot
sauce, hotpepper, I told my doctor (ent)
if I take the salt away from my diet, i'll
be eating rabbit food. I have to go now
but I wish you lots o luck & bye, bye.
