Question:
DOES AN ULCER EVERY REALLY HEAL OR IT IS JUST

I AM 2 YEARS POSTOP AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN ULCER A YEAR AGO. ALTHOUGH THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT IT HAD HEALED, WHEN I GET FOOD STUCK AND VOMIT, OR WHEN I AM UNDER STRESS, THE SAME OLD GNAWING PAIN COMES BACK. I WAS GIVEN PROTONIX BUT WONDER IF IT REALLY HELPS BECAUSE IT IS TIMED RELEASE...I AM GETTING VERY FRUSTRATED AND WORRIED. ALSO CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT GASTRITIS IS AND WHAT TRIGGERS IT?
