Peptic ulcer disease causes symptoms like abdominal pain and a burning sensation, especially when the stomach is empty. It can also make a person feel full quickly after eating a small amount of food. Other symptoms include nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss, excessive burping, and bloody stool or vomit. The symptoms of peptic ulcer disease include epigastric abdominal pain and a burning sensation. These two symptoms are made worse when the stomach is empty as there is nothing else but the tissues for stomach acid to degrade. Peptic ulcer disease can also cause a premature feeling of fullness or bloating, meaning a person will feel full after eating only a small amount of food. Other symptoms include nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss, excessive burping, and bloody stool or vomit.
