I know many people will say get to a doctor and believe me I've heard it 1000 times. My mother in law and sister in law are both nurses. Thing is, I don't do doctors. I'm weird that way, but I'm a firm believer that your body is made to take care of itself. It might take me falling out to get to the doctor.
That's what caused Mom's ulcer. NSAIDS. And, she didn't have symptoms for a while. She thought she had heartburn, so she took Tums. And, she has a little arthritis...so she kept taking Aspirin and Motrin.

It didn't take long for her to go from being symptomless to 'on the floor'.

I used to be a doctor and I don't do them either..hateful creatures that they are.....

Drink lots and lots of water and don't take Tums or Aspirin or Tylenol or Motrin....or milk..while it coats your stomach, it's a breeding ground for bacteria.....Stay away from acidic foods and good luck to you.
