4. Bloating
You might find that you feel generally ‘bloated’ while you have a stomach ulcer. It’s common to feel bloated after drinking too much fluid or eating a large meal, but you can feel a similar sensation when you have an ulcer which is sending confused signals to the brain. This can contribute to the general loss of appetite and make you feel uncomfortable.
There are many other causes for bloating to consider too however. One common one is a food sensitivity/intolerance.
Commonly, lactose intolerance is known to cause bloating as the lactose isn’t broken down and then sits around in the digestive tract releasing gasses as it decomposes.
