Is it normal for a stomach ulcer to be burning and bloating after a week of treatment?
Post Body

29M, 190 pounds, white, taking prilosec.

I've had a stomach ulcer for three weeks now, but I only started getting it treated a week ago since I've had a few in the past and they've gone away without meds (was on SSRIs so I was more susceptible).

After being on the Prilosec for a week I'm still having burning and bloating problems when I eat, even if it's super basic food. Today I had a single biscuit about six hours ago and I'm still painfully bloated. I have a doctor's appointment for this coming friday, but this seems excessive compared to the past. I did have darkened stool about two weeks ago, but that was only for a day, so I know at one point I was bleeding but that was very short lived, and it was because I took an Advil without knowing nsaids cause more problems.
