Does gastric ulcer cause diarrhea?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. Can a stomach ulcer cause diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, first, the current recurrence of nausea and vomiting symptoms is primarily considered to be due to recent improper diet or consumption of unclean food, greasy, difficult-to-digest, spicy, and irritating foods, which have led to this recurrence of nausea and vomiting. While gastric ulcer does have some relevance, it is not the main cause. Therefore, in terms of treatment, it is recommended that you actively use anti-diarrheal medications such as Loperamide or Montmorillonite to suppress the patient's nausea and vomiting.
