Default Stricture?

I finally got in to see the Dr. today over the pain in my stomach. He thinks I may have an ulcer in the wittle baby pouchy (my new nickname for it ) He put me on a mega antacid and a drug called "carafate" which is supposed to be like a coating for the tummy to help the ulcer heal. I keep hearing this word stricture and have no clue what it means. What are the symptoms?
