Lorraine,

So nice to meet another Lorraine. Not a common name these days.

Anyway, I hope you Dane is OK. That does sound incredibly stressful. Most ulcers are caused by a bacteria. So, you you should definitely see a doctor if you think it is an ulcer. I am very much against taking antibiotics unless absolutely necessary, but it is very necessary if you do have an ulcer.

You should also consider food allergies or sensitivities. The symptoms fit. I developed a sensitivity to peanuts. The stomach pain was so intense. Now if I accidentally eat one, I am throwing up all night and diarrhea for 2 days! If you can identify the food, the cure is simple. But I do miss peanut butter, though.

Do your symptoms occur after eating certain foods or are they constant? Is the pain worse if you don't eat and better if you do? That is usually an ulcer. But definitely see a doctor if it continues.

I hope everything turns out OK!!
