Severe pain an ulcer?

Started the master cleanse. On day two noticed severe upper abdominal pain. Never really having much abdominal pain before, I don’t really understand this. I’m on day 3 now and the pain is worse after having drank the lemonade. I have had some pain before when under stress, but never this bad. Could this be an ulcer?

See your health care provider as soon as possible (primary care or gastroenterology), for consultation. The major symptom of an ulcer is a burning or gnawing feeling in the stomach area that lasts between 30 minutes and 3 hours. This pain is often interpreted as heartburn, indigestion or hunger. The pain usually occurs in the upper abdomen, but sometimes it may occur below the breastbone. In some individuals the pain occurs immediately after eating. In other individuals, the pain may not occur until hours after eating. The pain frequently awakens the person at night. Weeks of pain may be followed by weeks of not having pain. Pain can be relieved by drinking milk, eating, resting, or taking antacids.

The main thing that a stomach ulcer affects is the nerves surrounding it. The nerves become agitated and cause a great amount of pain. However, stomach ulcers can cause hemorrhages from the erosion of a major blood vessel; a tear in the wall of the stomach or intestine, with resultant peritonitis; or obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract because of spasm or swelling in the area of the ulcer.
See a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
I hope this helps you. And good luck.
