Depends on the serverity.The doctors will tell ya need to start living a cleaner healthier life so it doesn't happen again but as long as it's not bleeding anymore and healed I'm sure you'll wanna enjoy yerself again.

I got an Ulcer when I was doing me Junior cert 30 years ago.Probably stress related.Anyway healed up and it never returned even though I lived like a pirate for a long time.Eating and drinking whatever I wanted  and it didn't make it come back.I actually forgot about it until this thread popped up.

I'm wondering was that burning pain in my back which I put down to muscle damage actually that poxy ulcer that I didn't know I had. If so, it's been there for a very long time. Can stomach ulcers give you lower burning back pain?

??? oops
Didn't Big Pharma deny the presence of Helio because it would decimate their Maalox, and Tagamet sales?

I used to get ulcers because I was working three different shifts PLUS overtime in Aer Lingus:
Scientist who braved ulcer wins Nobel

An Australian microbiologist who swallowed mouthfuls of bacteria to prove they cause stomach ulcers was awarded the 2005 Nobel prize in physiology or medicine for his pioneering research yesterday.

Barry Marshall, who runs a laboratory at the University of Western Australia, received the award jointly with Robin Warren, formerly a pathologist at the Royal Perth hospital. The pair will share the 10m Swedish kronor (£730,000) prize money.

The researchers met in 1981 shortly after Dr Warren discovered small curved bacteria in the stomachs of patients who were suffering from inflammation. The two decided to take biopsies from 100 patients with ulcers and gastroenteritis and found the bacteria were present in nearly all of them. The researchers managed to isolate and grow the bacteria, which became known as Helicobacter pylori.


At the time, prevailing medical opinion was that stomach ulcers were caused by a build-up of acid in the stomach and intestines, a problem itself thought to be triggered by stress and a poor lifestyle.

In 1985, Professor Marshall carried out an experiment to prove the H. pylori was the cause of stomach ulcers. He swallowed a mouthful of the bacteria and developed acute gastritis (as documented by a colleague via gastroscopy). Further work by the researchers eventually convinced the rest of the medical community that instead of a lifestyle condition, ulcers were caused by Helicobacter typically passed on from parents to children.

The bacteria are now uncommon in western Europe, but in eastern Europe and the developing world, infections can be as high as 20% of the population.

In awarding the prize, the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm said: "Thanks to the pioneering discovery by Marshall and Warren, peptic ulcer disease is no longer a chronic, frequently disabling condition, but a disease that can be cured by a short regimen of antibiotics and acid secretion inhibitors."

Lifestyle change Horse and you'll be grand.
