According to Ayurveda,    ulcers can be dealt with under the category of Pitta Pradhana Vata disorders. Either it can be Annadrava Shula or Parinama Shula

In Annadrava Shula the pain usually begins after the digestion of food and also remains during indigestion and remains constant.

In Parinamashula usually, pain starts during the digestion of food in the duodenum. this happens due to the contact of sores or ulcers in the duodenum with acidic foods from the stomach.
