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

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
