Red face Don't Get Discouraged

Colleen:

Please don't get discouraged. Ulcers can happen for a variety of reasons. From what I've heard, they heal pretty quickly. You may want to review your diet recently. Perhaps there's something you've eaten that might have overly irritated your pouch. I know that when I drink too many caffeinated drinks in one day, my pouch feels irritated. So I cut back and the irritation goes away. My pouch also feels irritated if I take more than one or two doses of Ibuprofen.

Hopefully between the Carafate and possibly restructuring your diet, your symptoms will resolve.
