[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 568577, member: 1233"] Sending you lots of hugs. It is hard when they won't take any action but they want things to be different. Men are strange that way. Are you aware that MOST ulcers are caused by bacteria? Stress makes them worse, just as it does every other health issue, but just changing what you eat and taking prilosec won't do much of anything. He NEEDS to see his doctor and get antibiotics for h. pylori. Probiotics also help. Would it be possible for you to send his dr a note about his stress and health issues and get the dr to treat the ulcer, make sure his blood pressure is healthy and talk about an antidepressant? Even if your husband won't go for the antidepressants, treating ulcers with just prilosec is asking for serious trouble. Ulcers create scar tissue if they get bad enough, and they can truly create lifelong problems. [/QUOTE]
