Sounds similar but I don't think I was as bad as you are(my dihorrea has almost gone!). If you've had ulcers get tested for Hp - most ulcers are caused by this bacteria (some caused by anti-inflammatory drugs). You need to get a breath test or biopsy from endoscopy (I had the latter) - apparently the blood test just tells if you've been exposed, not if the bug is active now - ask your doctor about the possibilities. I'm going back to my GP today for a final sum-up of the situation. If all is well, the only thing left is another endoscopy & check up with the gastro specialist in 6 months (& maybe a couple of Zantac to get through the festive season!). Check out Hp & good luck.
