Apendix maybe?

you know i had even thought the same thing.... i still feel she needs to get it check out

if you have been diagosed with an ulcer- why didn't your doctor put you on an antibiotic to fight the bacteria that causes ulcers- yes its a bacteria- h pyloric something- i had a stomach biopsy to rule it out- i was diagnosed with gastritis- an inflammation of the stomach lining- which also causes severe stomach pain-

maybe you need to see a gastroenterologist- he can get to the root of your problem and take care of it-

if you are running a fever or just cannot stand the pain- go to the ER but i strongly recommend seeing a doctor

Feel better Red

Glad you feel better.

I had an ulcer, and i had to take a 3 month course of antibiotics.

The pain is horrible, its like an empty pain, and i always suffered after eating, mines developed as a result of poor eating habits and smoking on an empty stomach.

Could be acid reflux or ulcer, if your getting bloating with it then could be gastritis. The symptoms are similar to an ulcer, and can be very painful.

Have you had an upper endoscopy to confirm that you have an ulcer?

Ulcers aren't "cured" by OTC meds. OTC meds just make you more comfortable.

If the ulcer is caused Helicobacter pylori bacteria, you would be needing an antibiotic. H.Plylori bacteria is the leading cause of ulcers and the only way that it can be confirmed that one has them is with an upper endoscopy.

If the ulcer is caused by other means, there are special meds to cure them.

I had a similar problem, constant stomache aches for YEARS! Turns out I found out that I was one of those people allergic to wheat! Who knew? So basically everything was making me sick. But they went away when I cut that out. Could be anything in your case, just giving you options!
