H. Pylori related? I'm guessing yes since they have you on a few different PPIs

well now,that is disturbing,my uncle use to drink many a bottle of Pepto,to calm his,I actually don't think that helped any

follow your Doctors advice and don't torment it any if you can,or you may be getting ready to get probed in all sorts of places and i know for a fact that it isn't any fun at all

She didn't say, but I'm sure the whiskey and spicy foods caused it.. Honestly, a couple beers every few hrs is helping it from flaring up on me.

Had a doc tell me that. Beer will calm ulcers.

But obviously that is not a healthily choice.

Dec. 30, 2002 -- If your cup of cheer is wine or beer, there's a bit of good news. Those who imbibe a few weekly glasses have a slightly lower risk of carrying a germ that causes stomach ulcers.

The germ is a common bacterium: Helicobacter pylori or H. pylori for short. It can cause stomach ulcers, although not everybody who carries the bug gets an ulcer. First infections usually happen in childhood, but new infections can happen at any age. H. pylori can be a long-lasting infection. Sometimes people get over it without treatment, but antibiotic therapy is the only reliable way to cure an infection.

Now it looks as though wine and beer may help some people rid themselves of the bug. Liam J. Murray, MD, Queens University of Belfast, U.K., and colleagues tested 10,537 people for H. pylori infection. They also asked them how much alcohol and coffee they drank and how much they smoked.

"[The] results indicate that consumption of moderate amounts of alcohol in the form of wine, beer, lager, or cider may protect against H. pylori infection," the researchers report in The American Journal of Gastroenterology."

Not only does it calm it, it can also help to cure it.
