8 months! Mine were not bleeding, but 8 months sounds nuts. It also sounds to me it is pure and simple the pills sat in your tummy having broken up very little and burned holes in it, just like what happened to me in my esophagus.
What meds did he give you? Is he treating you for H. Pylori also? I don’t see why he would have jumped to treating that with your situation, but it wouldn’t be a bad thing to test for it that’s for sure. If you are positive for that I would take the antibiotics they prescribe for it, but I think those are just for two weeks? I’m not sure though.
They gave me a liquid med. I think it was called carafate or something like that. I don’t remember. I also was taking a “teaspoon” at a time of Chloraseptic now and then to treat the pain. None of those things am I recommending for you, mine was different. Different body part and no bleeding.
Are you anemic from it?
