JPM-
If you haven't already, and if you're near a good Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, then you might want to get their take on the peptic ulcer. That way you'd know better how to modify your qigong practice from an energy perspective. (For example if they say it's a problem with liver qi stagnation, then you could focus on freeing up liver qi with Four Season's qigong, etc.) Different causes would give you different strategies for modifying your qigong.
I've had excellent results with TCM for digestive problems—but it's been mostly herbal therapy. In my case, my TCM doctor encouraged my qigong, but said the herbal therapy would give quicker results. The idea was get rid of the main stagnation with herbs, then allow the qigong to continue and maintain the improvement.
Just some thoughts- pl
