We support and empower ulcer patients to heal and live well. We are ulcer patients ourselves. This is our story at Ulcer Patient Aid Foundation.
During my undergraduate years, I faced an unexpected adversary – a persistent peptic ulcer. It seemed that stress from medical school and the late-night snacks I enjoyed triggered the painful ulcers.
MB. Tahir
VOLUNTEER"A decade with peptic ulcers, scapular and back pain forced dietary changes. Avoiding triggers like beans and late-night food became essential."
Hafsat Sadiq
VOLUNTEER" I screamed in agony from the worst stomach pain ever in class. I was diagnosed with duodenal ulcer after being rushed to the doctor."
Ummi Sadiq
VOLUNTEER"I had the same symptoms and treatment as the previous testimonial. I also did extensive research on how to get better from ulcer. I improved a lot."
Doreen Emmanuel
