Ulcer?

So Im a big fan of spicy food. Only thing is lately when I eat it, my stomach is in so much paind afterwards. My husband says it can be an Ulcer.
What exactly is it and what causes it?
I know i should go to the DR to at least get it checked out but I HATE dr's

An ulcer is a sore on the lining of your stomach that can develop into a hole.
You can also get an ulcer at the base of your espohagus where it meets the stomach.

Does your stomach hurt any other time, like when you are stressed or eat other non-spicy foods ?
If so, then you should definitely see a doctor.

If it occurs only when you eat spicy foods, try taking a over the counter acid reducer before you eat, like Zantac or Pepcid.

I'm not an MD (where's Ev ?), but I do have some stomach problems.
