sometimes we have a year in hell and this one was mine. my dad died 18 years ago from cancer and 7 months ago i lost my mom to alzeimers. i always had a weak stomach, but i never had real troubles before. now i found out i have 2 bleeding ulcers and a hernia. thats not the nd. i need a colonoscopy because the dr suspects something in the colon. i have such pain its unbearable at times. im on nexium, so the diarrea is gone but i have to be very careful what i eat. im too thin to begin with. when i found out about the ulcers, i said WHAT TOOK SO LONG? whenever things are difficult, it hits me in the stomach.the dr told me right now i dont need surgery. a lot of people say when the ulcers bleed, theres no other way to fix them. i sure dont want stomach surgery. ive had my share of surgeries and i think its enough already.do any of you have any experience with bleeding ulcers? i sure dont wish it on you, its horrible, but it would help me to know what you did.
