Hang in there girl.. ya know I feel the same way just when things are going real good, something takes me down, but I alwasy come out of it fighting and it's weird it so traumatic and then it never comes back or happens again. Ulcers are no fun, never had one but do get reflux..Yuck.. This will heal and with IBS diet you'll get some relief, meds I don't take them..Hows the probiotics working? Your so strong stay that way and you'll conquer this ailment. Take care and speedy recovery..God bless..
