I Have Been Having Gastric Ulcer And Loose Stools, Why Is It Happening To Me ?

Hi...I've been having regular loose (watery) stools for a while now,the doctor advised an upper GI endoscopy, it revealed 7-8 small ulcers, and the Rapid Urease Test came out negative......the doctor prescribed some drugs....esomeprazole 40 mg twice a day....is the treatment ok ?? I've browsed ulcer symptoms in the net, apparently, continuous loose stools is not a symptom of ulcer, then why is it happening to me ?I'm avoiding all spicy foods still everyday I have watery stools, I've just started taking the drug....pls advice...Thank you

vomiting, diarrhoea, burning sensation in stomach are all the symptoms of ulcer. more so there is a condition where there is excess adrenaline secrection which will cause increased acid secretion and ulcer formation also it will cause diarrohea. treatment for this is also esomeprazole.
