Is Pain In Stomach After Having Food A Sign Of Ulcer?
I am a 64 year old woman who has had this problem since my early 20 s. Certain foods (not all) cause pain when it hits my stomach. Bananas, eggplant (etc.) and today when I ate homemade chicken vegetable soup I had pain. It s a pain like if one puts alcohol on a open wound. Could this be an ulcer?
