So, I am a statistic (don't have health insurance) and I think I may have a stomach ulcer.
I'm really not sure.
21 years young.No other health conditions.
I do have anxiety disorder so I'm not sure if it's the anxiety causing my stomach to be upset or not.
My upper stomach has been bothering me a lot.It is in the upper stomach area sometimes it aches for a little and goes away, sometimes my stomach is nauseas and sometimes it feels like a gnawing sensation.I get acid reflux sometimes if I eat foods that produce it.I don't throw up or anything.
It does seem like it started right after I caught the stomach flu but I also have a nervous stomach a lot of the time due to the stomach flu (fear of barfing) so that could be a possible reason.
At first I thought I might be lactose intolerant but it is happening even if I don't eat dairy.I don't know of my parents having a history of this (except my dad does having stomach issues but he also drank for many years)
I just want a solution (other than doctor recommendations) I just want to be able to have a healthy belly.
So if anyone can direct me to food or supplements that would be helpful OR if you think it could possible be something else, please let me know!
