Title: Gastric Ulcer and Peritoneal Dialysis
Post by: ilovesoda on August 03, 2014, 08:16:22 PM

Hi. Wondering if anyone is also dealing with having gastric ulcer while doing PD... PD aggravated my ulcer and I get tummy pain and get hungry easily. Besides that, I suffer from diarrhea (instead of being constipated). I understand that most patients on PD have to deal with constipation. It's the other way around for me. Would appreciate if you can share knowledge as to why PD aggravates ulcer and causes diarrhea.

If I have a negative UF in about three day I have explosive diarrhea.  But then, my system seems to work slow.
