When I had my ulcer, I burped a lot and sometimes uncontrollably and they were BIG burps. Also, I would wake up in the mornings feeling like I had a hole in my stomach and felt hungry. Other times certain foods bothered me and sometimes I had dirrhea and would get sick on my stomach. I felt sick a lot and it interfered with my work I felt so bad. I was put on tagamet then zantac then a biopsey was taken and found it was bacteria related and then took flagyl (antibiotic - very strong) and amoxicillin together, which then had an allergic reaction like swelling of my head and ears, but finally got rid of it. A few years later I developed another one and now it is gone. Good luck. I have heard some children who have nervous conditions and worry a lot will develop symptoms of an ulcer. Some are more emotional than others and actually have to seek counseling.
