Hey guys. I spent a couple days in twh and was diagnosed with an ulcer. My question is for those of you who had or have an ulcer what does your diet consist of now. Do you eat to not irritate it more? Do you avoid certain foods? Do you eat certain ones? Im still feeling kinda offish but MUCH better than when i went to emerg so i know im on the mend. Im just curious to see how much more of a lifestyle change others made

thabks all. Happy sunday!!

an ulcerative colities is much different than a gastric ulcer...very different...not sure if there is a need to eliminate any foods, you just need to watch and see if you have any food triggers

prior to surgery 323lbs....4 years post-op maintaining between 108- 114 lb loss. 

life is AMAZING when you continue on the right path~!.  Use your surgeons gift to the fullest~!

Hey sorry to hear you were in the hospital, but glad you're on the mend and hope you make a full recovery. I know nothing about ulcers does this mean you have to make a permanent change to your diet or does this go away?

RNY March 1, 2017 with Dr. Reed.

Do you have a history of ulcers or hiatus hernia? Is this ulcer the result of WL surgery or your food/diet? Did they say what caused the ulcer?

Hope you feel better soon!!

No history of any of that!!!

Yes, it is a result of RNY.. i saw the surgeon and the nurse yesterday and i am part of the 2% that have been DIAGNOSED with it.. they said they feel its more, but they put patients on meds without a scope and things usually resolve. After surgery your stomach can produce a lot of stomach acid which mine produces more than normal and this is what caused it.

Today i am feeling MUCH better than i have been!!
