What are causes for severe bleeding ulcers without hpylori bacteria and no symptoms?

[Summercali]

Three mos ago I was found to be severely anemic and ended up in hospital for transfusions.  A gastro dr did endoscope and determined I have severe bleeding stomach ulcers.  I do not have any pain or other symptoms.  Negative for h pylori bacteria.  Been taking carafate 4 x day and taking protonix.
I had vertical sleeve surgery five years ago and have been taking vitamins and history of TIAs so was on plavix.  I don’t drink or use NSAIDS so what could cause this?

Hi theee,
Just curious, are you taking any “other” meds?  You may need to take a break from your supplants.  Depending on the company, I’ve witnessed chemical testing for a couple of mine and they were basically junk!  Good luck to you!

Hello and welcome to MedHelp's forums. Thank you for your question. We are glad you have been receiving medical attention for this and encourage you to continue to do so.  You do not have bacterium nor take nsaids which are two common causes of peptic ulcers. Those are common causes of peptic ulcers.  Here is an article that discusses the conditions https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/peptic-ulcer/symptoms-causes/syc-20354223

Are you still on Plavix?  That is a blood thinner and would create further problems.  Absolutely speak to your doctor about this.  

What is the doctors you've seen offering for explanation or recommending for your next steps?

Been off plavix since anemia noted.  Problem is I have no symptoms but gastro dr said the bleeding ulcers in my stomach were severe.
