Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i have stomach ulcers. (for 10 years they come and go) Doctors first EGD showed food in stomach. after the second test showed small ulcers, put my on Omeprazole. I was on antibiotics for dental work done, and American perfect probiotics. Dr. said to take them as well as the prilosec. And a custard diet for 8 weeks. then he wants to do another test. I am confusted.. I feel that if i take the probiotics and not antacids and eat a proper diet i can beat the problem. Having the test later in the year - say 3 months. I am desperate here...especially since i am also having problem with my lower dentures. They are not right and i feel i should have a second opinion from an MD due to the bone extrusion on guns
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is the confirmed ulcer disease so with the right regime of drugs including PPI it heals but treatment needs to be continue for at least 6 weeks and the first is it should be confirmed ulcer disease, as long as the symptoms are concern differential diagnosis matters the great hope this information helps.
