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.
Stomach ulcers are often treated with antibiotics for an infection or medications to reduce, block, or neutralize stomach acid. After food passes through your esophagus into your stomach, a muscular valve called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) closes, preventing food or acid to move back up.
