There are many problems associated with gastric ulcers, such as stomach pain and diarrhea
The most common symptom of stomach ulcers is burning pain in the abdomen. Stomach acid can make pain worse, as can an empty stomach. Eating certain foods that buffer stomach acid or taking acid-lowering drugs usually relieves the pain, but then it returns. Pain may be worse between meals and at night.
Stomach ulcers can also occur if you have a rare condition called Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (gastrinoma). This condition creates tumors of acid-producing cells in the digestive tract. These tumors can be cancerous or benign. These cells produce excess acid that damages stomach tissue.
