Ulcers or something else?

Hi, I’ve had severe bloating, abdominal pain upper right, burning upper right, heartburn, a lump feeling in my throat, indigestion. I have lost 10 pounds, appetite loss, nausea, pain from my stomach going to my back where my right kidney is located, and severe itching all over my body, and bruises. Burping and gas. Urgent diarrhea after I eat or sometimes drink. I have a scope test coming up to see if I have ulcers.

Also, I have had my gallbladder checked out twice. Attached is a picture of a place I have itch my skin and a rash came up. But would ulcers cause me to have itching all over my body, bruising, and pain in my back where my kidney is?

Sounds like you are already being evaluated by a GI doctor. He/she should be able to advise you better since they would have done a complete history and physical exam on you. Briefly though, ulcers would not usually cause a rash unless it is a very unusual and rare condition such as mastocytosis. Celiac disease comes to mind when hearing about your symptoms.
