10 Gastric Ulcer Symptoms
Symptom #10: Early satiety
One sensation that some people with PUD may report is the inability to eat a full meal or feeling full after only a small amount of food. This is called early satiety and it is not exclusive of PUD. Some causes of early satiety are gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers in the stomach, obstruction of the gastric outlet (i.e. peptic ulcers), and gastric or abdominal tumors.
Symptoms associated with early satiety include the inability to eat a normal-sized meal, a sensation of being full after very little food, and nausea and vomiting that occur when trying to eat a normal meal. Also, this is one of the reasons that people with ulcers may lose weight rapidly —they might simply feel full much quicker than they would otherwise and find themselves eating less as a result.
