Anyone have an ulcer?

Sorry if this isn't in the correct thread; I confess I wasn't sure where to put it. I was just wondering how,people manage ulcers along with weight. Actually, I'm not even sure I have an ulcer, but I went to the doctor today and he is doing tests for Helicobacter, so an ulcer is at least a possibility. My biggest problem is the nausea I have had for the past few months and vomiting quite a bit after eating. It isn't great. So I'm losing a lot more weight than I should be, in my opinion, though my doctor didn't really comment on this. For the next week, he told me to take Prilosec every day and not eat spicy foods, alcohol, or dairy (so there goes just about the only thing I have been able to actually keep down- my chocolate ice cream). ????

Is anyone else out there dealing with ulcers? How do you manage it? Thanks in advance.
