Hmmmm.... She has an ulcer. This little ah heck was the cause of most ulcers since the dawn of time. The discoverers of it just got a belated Nobel prize for it too this last year. Before they started figuring out that it was an infection, it was diagnosed as stress and diet related. Folks were given stupid diets to follow and were told to 'avoid stress'.

Thankgoodness for medical pioneers that can think outside of the box and not take everything as it is. She will be better in less than a month! Yippee!

After 6 years of severe digestive discomfort and a lot of false diagnosii, maybe she can finally get this fixed.

It took 6 years for a proper diagnosis?

Now that it's diagnosed, I hope she gets treatment ASAP and does well

We've been through 4 different doctors. That last doctor finally sent us to a GI specialist and this guy is awesome.

Spoiled food?

Two thirds of the population have h. pylori in them, but it rarely causes a problem. They found out it is what causes ulcers. They're guessing you get it when you're an infant through oral to oral contact or fecal to oral contact. The doctor said it is not contagious, but I did read somewhere that you can burp it back up into your mouth and they live briefly, so I bet it can be passed by tongue kissing...

Thanks for making me want to hurl.

No ulcer. They used a scope and took pictures. Her stomach lining is inflamed though.
