Suggest Treatment For Stomach Ulcer
My mother has an ulcer. She is also Morbidly obese (BMI 70). Whenever she is hungry she worries her ulcer is growing. I say worring is worse than being hungry for an hour or two...who is right? Should I just feed her every time she thinks she s hungry?

Hi,
I understand your concern and recommend to do an endoscopy to confirm the ulcer. Also recommend using PPI medication such as Omeprazole to low the stomach acidity. I suggest to feed her but don't give her food or beverage that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
