So I went to the doctor yesterday and I've been having severe abdominal pain..they did discover I have a stomach ulcer..I am 28 years old..i turn 29 November 11th. Since living in the US for only 8 months I believe it is due to culture shocks and stress. I feel so overwhelmed sometimes I freak out sometimes and get angry and depressed about not making it in such a more fast paced country and I think all this worrying caused it. So is this too young at my age to have an ulcer and should I be worried?
No, no..I live in the US now..but i'm from Japan..lol being away from my "comfortzone" I think is what causes this. My doctor said diet is the most important if I want a speedy recovery. I bought this "aloe vera" juice..it tastes like mouthwash but it does ease the pain and works..he said taking it for a few months will help coat the ulcer and stop any bleeding
Another thing might I add..is sometimes I think I have social anxiety...I can read, type, write english just fine..it is hard for me to speak. so sometimes I studder or come off with the wrong words and get nervous. It's something that's hard for me to overcome..when im face to face with someone..it's not like for me to be on here where I feel more comfortable
Are you sure it's a stress ulcer and not one caused by pylori bacteria? If it's a bacterial infection, stress will make it worse but you probably picked up the infection from someone else, most likely by kissing someone with the infection already. Tonsil hockey is fun but a great way to spread a myriad of ailments.
In either case, the good news is ulcers do go away with time and care but they can come back swiftly if you aren't careful.
My fiancee had a bleeding peptic ulcer from high school and she has no problems with it now. She had to avoid seriously spicy food and tons of stress for a few years, but she made a recovery. Cramming down tons of spicy food and prolonged stress may make it flare up again but as long as you recognize when you're agitating it and stop doing whatever you're doing to make it worse, you should be ok
Something in the soda could have irritated an already existing ulcer that wasnt bad enough to bother you.Diet soda gave me one, it went away when I moderated my drinking of it.

People also underestimate the effect CO2 can have on your gut. Drinking lots of soda puts a lot of gas into you and if you cant get rid of it fast enough it can cause real pain, especially if you have a pre-existing condition (like an ulcer)
