Stomach ulcers??? That's NOT good!!! What type of ulcers are they i.e. gastric, duodenal, etc.

Before I became ill, I spent 14 years working in pharmaceutical sales. I spent a lot of time with Gastroenterologists and watched endless patients undergoing upper endoscopies and colonoscopies.

Ulcers aren't something you want to mess with!!! They can become very dangerous if not treated properly. Make sure you reduce stress as much as possible and avoid ALL acidic foods i.e. sauces, alcohol, chocolate, peppermint, coffee ... yes, COFFEE (even decaf)!!!

Good luck with the college tours! They can be a combination of exciting & nerve racking! Benadryl is a stimulant for you??? Benadryl, for most people, knocks them out. I've heard that Sudafed can act as a stimulant, but never Benadryl ... so be very careful, especially if you're driving. BTW ... if you'll be doing a lot of walking OUTDOORS, during these tours, make sure you lather on sunscreen ... ALL Antihistamines (including Benadryl, Sudafed, Zyrtec, etc.) AND Antibiotics, accelerate the rate of skin burning. Most people don't know that fact! So be extra careful when taking those class of medications, especially in the summer, while at the beach, golf course, etc.

Good luck with everything! I'll be thinking about you!

Much love,
