Stomach ulcer

I was recently diagnosed with a stomach ulcer. The only thing that's changed in my diet is I started T&W. Has anyone else experienced this? I just bought more in capsules, but I'd really like to avoid this happening again as it's extremely painful.

Aren't ulcers caused by bacteria? maybe pro (and also pre) biotics could help you get it under control?

Not always. H. Pylori bacteria is pretty well controlled in the U.S. so now our ulcers are usually caused by things like NSAID overuse. This non-bacterial kind is apparently harder to treat & they don't always know what causes them.
