Can stomach ulcers come back? And can young people get them?!


Question:

Can stomach ulcers come back? And can young people get them?

Can they? Can we? My mom's friend said she had one when she was like 15, but is 11 too young to get one, i mean, if you do, is that abnormal? I almost got one, but it ended up being IBS and I wanted to know if people would think i was weird if I did have a stomach ulcer.


Answers:

It's been determined that ulcers are caused by a bacterial infection in the stomach. So getting reinfected is a possibility, and I would assume that anyone could get them at any age.
