I know someone at CP that had an ulcer. He was diagnosed early and his doctor gave him a prescripton. But that's the key though, get on it early.Quote from: "iron horse jockey"
Koreans have a high rate of stomach ulcers and stomach cancer. Heavy drinking and acidic food are the culprits.

If caught early a duodenal ulcer can be treated with a round of antibiotics and some minor diet modifications. Two of my aunts have had them, not a big deal if you follow the doctors instructions.Quote from: "Renee"
I have an appointment next week with our doctor. I hope he can fix me up.
I just had a toasted lettuce, tomato and turkey sandwich and I feel bloated. Normally after working around the farm in the morning, that would only be a snack.

What's wrong with a walk in other than the wait? If you need testing, they will send you to a hospital or another clinic for it. Just do eeet.

I just got back from town. Less than thirty minutes from the time I got there to out the door with a prescription. I start my medicine tomorrow morning. He recommends no barrel wash while I am taking the pills. That is thirty days.Quote from: "Herman":shock:
Good man Herman. And your stomach as well as your liver will thank you for the break. I don't mean to preach, but I am an ex boozer myself.

Don't worry about it brother. Say what you want.
I do not consider myself a liquor pig, but I know some people would. When winter drilling season is over, I head back to the farm. There's a lot of work to do. I usually stop once an hour for a beer break. If it is a long day, I will have 2-4 shots of whiskey or barrel wash before bed. I get a glow on, but I do not get trashed. It is hard on the body though as I get older and I am paying for it now.

I cannot start taking the medication until tomorrow morning. And the doc said it would take 3-4 days before it started making a difference. For now I am wolfing down these Life brand extra strength calcium antacids. They help a little.

You did the right thing Herm. Walk ins are not too bad. If it's something serious they can refer you to a specialist. In your case it was just a matter of printing off a note.

Hey!
I was jes' tryin' ta help Herman.
Yeah, I had ulcers once.
I took lots of aloe vera in liquid form & the symptoms gradually went away.
Did Herman say he went to Costa Rica?
Maybe he caught something down there, bacteria in his stomach.
I went to Mexico, Southern California, ate a lot of bad food and then I had stomach problems after that.
Plenty of rest, a balanced diet of vegetables, low on acids might help.

Make an appointment with your doctor. How long have you had the symptoms?

I was in Costa Rica four months ago Joe. I have lived and worked all over the world in some awful conditions too. I do not think a luxury resort is why I have a duodenal ulcer. As I said in the op, it's my age catching up with my drinking.
At this time of the year there is so much work so that extra rest is not possible. But, no more stopping for a beer break once an hour. The old lady stocked the fridge in the Quonset with bottles of home made green tea. It's a change drinking one of them every hour, but I can pretend it's Bud. And no more shots of cheap whiskey or barrel wash before bed. I lie down and the acid travels up my esophagus to my chest.
Nice of you to forward that info Joe I'm sure he will appreciate it.Quote
It sure was. I appreciate everyone's help here. I am glad I posted this.

So you have acid reflux as well. That's not good either. I had it with each of my pregnancies. It's uncomfortable as hell. Hopefully the doctor is addressing that as well because untreated, that can lead to damage to the esophagus wall and sometimes esophageal cancer.
My advice is you might want to take a daily acid reducer like Prilosec. It will stop the reflux and help with the ulcer.

If my cousin had taken Prilosec he would be alive today. He was 45 years old and a non smoker. Three months only between being diagnosed with esophageal cancer and taking his final breath. Acid reflux is serious business.

How is your gut feeling Herm? Any improvement?Quote from: "seoulbro"
A slight improvement, but it is from the antacids not the medicine. I was told it takes about 4 days for it to start giving any relief and I have only taken it for two days now.
