10) Weight Loss

Weight loss can occur in 40-50% of people suffering from stomach ulcers. It is not sudden and may progress gradually in several months. Weight loss is not directly linked to stomach ulcers, rather it occurs secondary to other symptoms and conditions such as loss of appetite, feeling full after eating a small portion of food, fatty food intolerance, and bloating. Subsiding of these signs and symptoms after proper treatment can reverse the weight loss in weeks to months.
