An Ulcer Sign #8: Weight Loss
Although we are often told that it is unhealthy to be overweight, it is also unhealthy to be underweight. What’s more is that losing weight too quickly can also be very bad for you. If you are trying to lose weight, it should be done at a steady pace and you should set yourself a healthy final target.
An ulcer can cause pain, particularly when eating, discouraging the patient from taking in food. It can also cause nausea and lead to vomiting, which can deprive the patient of the nutrition they need. These factors combined with other problems can lead to the patient losing weight quite rapidly.
