I had an ulcer when I was 17, took all the drugs when they were still prescription (zantac, tagamet, etc) which did nothing for it. I finally was healed by taking a product called Gastrex which has been on the market since 1959. I took 4 caps 15 minutes before food 3x a day for 3 months and changed my diet around (no dairy, sugar, caffeine, alcohol) and havent had a problem since (almost 20 years). You have to see a holistic doctor to get the product since it is a professional line of supplements made from organic food. You can call them at 800-558-8740 and ask for a doctor in your area that carries their stuff. Hope you heal fast Trouble :)
