10 Stomach Ulcer Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Reduced Food Intake
Recurrent abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting that occur due to stomach ulcers can lead to reduced food intake. This may happen as a result of a conscious decision by the person with a stomach ulcer to restrict their food intake in a quest to reduce the pain and discomfort.
Self-restricted food intake can lead to only eating specific types of food, and in small quantities. When this goes on for a long time, it can lead to deficiency in some nutrients, making it hard to recover from the ailment. It can also lead to loss of weight or even iron deficiency anemia.
