I'm not sure how much research you did into ulcers, but the "ulcers are caused by stress" theory is an old one. I'm not sure they know 100% what causes ulcers, but bacteria is part of it. Of course stress, over use of pain killers, and heavy alcohol use can contribute, but I doubt just stress can do so on it's own, or we'd all be walking around with them.
Author's Response: Look up stress-induced gastritis and navigate to the medscape page about it. I initially had the idea for this story because I know someone who had a stress induced ulcer. Web MD is not always right.
