I'm having a similar issue... though my ulcers haven't been as extreme as your brother's sound. I haven't discussed this with a doctor, but everything I'm reading about ulcers says that nsaids (a type of pain killers) can be a contributing factor. I take nsaids for migraines regularly, since excederin seems to be the only thing that can squash my migraines, unfortunately, i think prolonged use may be causing my ulcers, but I'd rather deal with the ulcers than the migraines. Perhaps if your brother is taking nsaids to treat his migraines, he could talk to his doctor about an alternate treatment for his headaches?View Thread
