Could it be an ulcer?

Could it be an ulcer?

Yeah. I have all the symptoms of an ulcer. Any cure besides anti-biotics?

I don't have any experience or particular knowledge in stomach ulcers. Do you know if there's helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) in there - been tested for it? It's a bacteria that seems to be able to cause stomach inflammation, pain, ulcers and other issues, at least sometimes. You could search that on the forum and see what's been suggested for that - I think there have been suggestions for treatment, but I don't remember them. And read up on it in other places too - including regular medical advice.

You may want to consider some kind of antibiotic against it if you have it (pharmaceutical if you don't have another effective strategy).

I think h. pylori is one of the infections that honey may be helpful for - eg raw and/manuka honey. But I wouldn't count on them being enough to deal with an entrenched infection - may need stronger measures.
