The food I love down here in cajun country will actually be one of the possible keys to kicking this ulcer's butt, and I have antibiotics left over from my last surgery to help as well.

Sorry, dude, stick to fixing cars.
You are mixing up the cause of an ulcer that is more chronic in nature, and the likely "alcoholic gastritis" that you have now. You have inflamed and irritated the lining of your stomach from the adult beverages that you enjoyed so much. You do not have a bacterial-caused ulcer already. And, if you choose to do some spicy food, you might just not like it....at all.
