10 Stomach Ulcer Symptoms

Symptom #4: Bloating
While there are other causes of bloating, such as indigestion, bloating may also be a symptom of stomach ulcers. Bloating or a feeling of fullness occurs when food in the stomach cannot easily move into the small intestines.
This can happen because of the location of the ulcer. An ulcer in the lower part of the stomach or in the duodenum may get so inflamed that the swelling blocks the digested food from passing into the small intestines. As the food continues to sit in the stomach, it can starts to ferment, producing gas and causing bloating. This can cause you to detest eating, which can lead to loss of weight and other complications.
