Answers:
it happens when your stomach produces 2 much acid irritating and eating away the epithelial cells that line your stomach!. avoid foods rich in caffiene, milk, avoid stress, drinking and alocohol!. have your meals on time and avoid eating just before bed!. most importantly tke medication as prescribed by the doctorWww@Answer-Health@Com
Did you ever try to starve yourself at one point!? Went without eating or ate very unhealthy!. Only you can answer that question, but that's mostly likely what happened!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It can happen from a number of reasons but don't get too upset unless it is really advanced if you make some changes in your life style it will keep it from getting worse!. Do you drink alot of soda!? I know that soda and really spicy foods make it worse so if you cut back on those (for a while) it will give your stomach time to heal itself!. If your ulcer is advanced or they run in your family you might talk to your dr about medication that help/prevent it!. I know that it is a little different for everyone but it might take some time to figure what sets the pain off!. Try taking a break from cofee, soda, chocolate and anything super spicy for a few weeks and see if that doesn't help you!. Just give yourself a chance to heal and then slowly reintroduce each of those back and if you get a flareup then make the changes in your diet accordinglyWww@Answer-Health@Com
Unlikely to be stress at your age ulcers are often caused by a bacteria!. There is a saying "feed the ulcer" meaning the pain from the ulcer goes away when you have just eaten!. and returns when the intestines are not digesting food!.
A local anesthetic is applied to the throat and a small camera swallowed to view it!.
A gastric (stomach) sample is taken with a tool attached to the camera and the sample analyzed!. If you have an ulcer caused by bacteria in your stomach you will need a course of tablets (medication) that dissolves the ulcer within about a week!.!.!. good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

Dear Shahlil,
Has your doctor confirmed this with a blood test for the stomach ulcer bacteria Helicobacter Pylori!?
The majority (~80%) of stomach ulcers are caused by a bacterium called helicobacter Pylori!. This bacteria causes damage to the stomach lining resulting in ulcers!.
Increased ulceration can also be caused by stress and stomach acidity!.
The bacterial cause of this disease can be treated with specific antibacterial agents but you need to know if the ulcer is bacterially caused or not!.
Ask your doctor how they know you have an ulcer and make sure they have diagnosed you properly!. If they refuse then I suggest you get a second opinion because tummy pains can be caused by a variety of triggers for example you may be intolerant to certain foods or chemicals used in foods or you may have had a gastrointestinal bug that just didn't result in loose bowels!.
I hope that these links help!.
