Does anyone have experience with this? My mom has a stomach ulcer and the pain is constant. Can an ulcer actually turn into something malignant, like cancer or whatever? Should she get checked out by a doctor, or is adjusting her diet enough? It seems like no matter what she eats, she's in pain...
Thanks in advance

Don't sweat it too much, honestly, most of the time things don't turn out to be anything serious or malignant. You should definitely go ahead and get that checkup just to be safe, though, and I actually heard from a few people that eating plenty of beef is supposed to be really good for you. Sending good vibes your way!

Cancer isn't the immediate worry if it's just a simple ulcer, but if it starts bleeding—like if the stomach lining perforates—that's a life-threatening situation. She definitely needs an endoscopy to check the extent of the damage. While they're at it, they should test for H. pylori; that bacteria is a common culprit behind ulcers and can lead to cancer if left untreated. Also, watch out for black, tarry stools—that's a major red flag for internal bleeding. She needs to get checked out by a doctor ASAP.

Thanks. So there’s no need to panic, but we definitely need to stay vigilant...
I'm making sure she gets checked out by the vet... until then, I'll be doing some digging online to figure out which foods to steer clear of and what's actually safe to give her...

In my own experience, acupuncture proved to be quite transformative... I had been relying on various medications for years, but after trying acupuncture, I haven't dealt with any stomach pain for about two years now.
