Gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers are both peptic ulcers, which are open sores in the lining of the digestive tract. Gastric ulcer forms in the lining of the stomach, while duodenal ulcer develops in the upper part of the small intestine.
One way to tell the difference between gastric and duodenal ulcers is to figure out where and when your symptoms occur. For some, the time between meals aggravates an ulcer. For others, eating may be a trigger for the pain. Gastric ulcers may cause pain soon after eating, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. Duodenal ulcers are likely to present with abdominal pain a few hours after meals when the stomach is empty (including nighttime abdominal pain). The pain usually gets better after eating.
