Question #22 in GI section of 2nd edition in Robbins Q book. The answer specifies that gastric ulcers are worse 2-3 hours after a meal, and can be aleviated by eating more food. Isn't this the clinical picture for duodenal ulcers. I thought gastric ulcers are worse with eating thus these patients tend to be skinny, while duodenal ulcers patients tend to be obese because eating food aleviates the ulcer. I am confused! Thanks for your help.
