What does a stomach ulcer feel like? I think I have one, maybe.

It feels like something I don't want.

But, hey, your first stomach ulcer! You're a real grad student now!

i think it hurts, and when you puke, it looks like either blackness or coffee grounds because it's digested BLOOD. yummmmmm!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, good. Because I puked last night and it didn't look like either of those things. It looked like yogurt and bits of cilantro.

Hey, I didn't know you actually used this fake journal!

Umm, I'm pretty sure I've had an ulcer (and that maybe I HAVE an ulcer), and it can feel like just about anything, as far as I can tell--nausea, stabbing pains, painful pressure in your stomach, etc. And you can have an ulcer that isn't bleeding, so the fact that your vomit looked like yogurt and cilantro (YUCK!) doesn't mean that you don't have an ulcer. (Sorry about the double negative.)

Sometimes eating helps with the pain, but eating too much can make it worse.

I hope you're okay!
