What is a stomach ulcer?
A stomach ulcer, also known as a gastric ulcer, is a sore that develops on the lining of the stomach, often caused by infection or long-term use of certain medications. In the UK, it affects a notable number of people, and for many individuals, symptoms can be managed with treatment and lifestyle adjustments.
A diagnosis doesn’t necessarily mean giving up on travel - with the right preparation and medical advice, many people with stomach ulcers continue to travel safely and enjoy holidays abroad.
Having the right travel insurance in place for a stomach ulcer can help to cover:
- Emergency medical treatment if your condition worsens during your trip
- Hospital stays and related medical expenses abroad
- Medical repatriation to the UK if further treatment is needed
- Cancellation costs if you have to cancel your trip for medical reasons
Travel advice for people with a stomach condition like a stomach ulcer
- Ensure you have enough stomach ulcer medication for the duration of your trip
- Stick to familiar foods where possible if certain foods aggravate your stomach ulcer
- Plan your travel schedule so you can take breaks if needed
- Check local healthcare facilities before travelling
During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions, and if relevant, you will need to declare this on the policy.
Travel insurance is often still possible for people with a stomach ulcer. What we can offer depends on your diagnosis and how it is managed, and answering the medical declaration accurately helps us bring forward the right cover.
