Well I just went through this because I was having serious pain in my stomach area, it wouldn't last long but it came and went almost daily!. I went to my Dr!. and they ran a scope down my throat and into my stomach and I did have ulcers and also H-Pylori which is a bacteria that causes ulcers, that may be what you have and they can do a blood test to see if you have that!. But I never had any blood in my stools so I don't know about that, but I did throw up alot and I just never felt good and had no appetite!. If it is H-Pylori, there are strong antibiotics they put you on and also prevacid which is for the stomach!. So I would go see your Dr!. and see as H-Pylori can really hurt your tummy and if you don't have ulcers now and you have H-Pylori, you will get ulcers!. So see your Dr!. and put your mind at ease!. OK good luck and I hope you feel better soonWww@Answer-Health@Com
