Healing Ulcers

I,m hoping someone can help with some info on what it feels like when stomach ulcers are healing.

I have H Pylori and have been treated with the antibiotic route, but I'm now going through my natropath at the moment. I have an ulcer from it, and while I feel great now I still get feelings of someone poking me in the stomach or a tighteness there, and I was wondering what it feels like when an ulcer is healing and how long it takes?

Hi G-Girl,

I had it way back in 1996. I was really lucky that the antibiotic for the bug was relatively new. I'd had 9 months of grief and then about 2 days after antibiotic I felt so amazing. But I had got so bad that good was only relative to the bad! :D

I was in the Navy (Australian) at the time so as soon as I felt okay I was back into training, lots of physical activity etc so I don't remember having any pain.

What is you gluten/celiac history?

Hi diandliam, If I had known how sick the antibiotics would have made me I think I wouldnt have taken them! They just stipped everything out of my system. but I am on the mend! I just have weird like feeling of being poked with a broom handle in my stomach or its feeling tight its hard to explain not pain as in cramp or anything, its not there all the time and I was thinking that its maybe the ulcer healing, I have none of the burning or nausea ect anymore and feel really good.

I have been gluten free for 12 months now after what seems a lifetime of drs and no answers, I came across Celiac Disease on the net and I couldnt believe that any drs would have thought to test for this, so I decided to give it a go and well the results were pretty much instant! i was starting to feel normal again, but not quite and thats when I was tested for H Pylori a month ago, my poor digestive system has had a rough life lol

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
