I think you can trust your doctor. I see that you have asked and gotten replies from many others about LS. Of course it can cause ulcers. I wrote that I had fissures, which were ulcers that are long. So I hope you can move forward in most of all, trusting yourself. This is all quite unbelievable but it is chronic, for life.

You'll heal in other ways than an ulcer, once you look within and trust your experience. I wish you the healing that's needed to cope with a chronic illness. That's what I can offer from my own experience; since I was 30 I've lived with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos, 6 autoimmune illnesses. Chronic illnesses inform my life but do not define it. I lost my career as an RN in Oncology and became a poet and jewelry designer.

You can always look within and find a way through. I mean this all sincerely and with kindness.
