via an endoscopy after a bleed that left me very anemic, I was diagnosed with a duodenal ulcer. Biopsy showed no infection. I'm pretty sure the H-Pylori was found and the cause. Besides being given Prilosec to take before meals I was not told of anything else to avoid or do to help it heal. It hurts sometimes but I can't decifer if any foods activate it; only that it tends to happen at night more than during the day. I have another endoscopy scheduled in a few weeks (8 weeks after the first). Should I be worried about the dull pain? Is there any thing I should or should not be doing? I'm concerned that it is not healing fast enough, since I'm about half way through the 8 weeks. Thank you.

I'm not paying. I will wait till Monday and talk with my doctor.
