To diagnose an ulcer, you may need a test called an upper endoscopy (EGD). This is a test to examine the lining of the esophagus (the tube that connects your throat to your stomach), stomach, and first part of the small intestine.

You will also be prescribed a medication that temporarily keeps your stomach from making or secreting as much acid as it normally would.
