Subject: Peptic Ulcers despite 2 years of Prevecid Topic Area: Digestive Forum: The Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases Forum Question Posted By: Martha RN on Thursday, October 07, 1999 Answer Posted By: HFHSM.D.-Gastro-RF on Monday, October 25, 1999 Dear Martha RN, There arer several ways to approach your brother's problems, depending om which symptom is the primary focus. FRom the perspective of ulcer disease, the common causes include aspirin, H. pylori infection, smoking and a gastrin-secreting tumor. Although ulcer disease can be associated with nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, the skin rash and colitis would not be expected problems. Conditions that involve multiple organs (in this case, gastritis, colitis, skin rash)are often the presentation for a vasculitis. This can be an autoimmune condition (e.g. like lupuis) or secondary to medications. Given th eseverity of symptoms e.g. weight loss, dehydration, it is important that you continue to seek medical care.

Peptic Ulcer Also indexed as: Duodenal Ulcer, Gastric Ulcer, Stomach Ulcer Peptic ulcer is often caused by infection from Helicobacter pylori antibiotics Conventional treatment options: Peptic ulcers are typically treated with antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin clarithromycin tetracycline metronidazole ... bismuth subsalicylate Helicobacter pylori . In addition, other medications may be prescribed to control stomach acidity, including histamine H inhibitors (e.g., cimetidine famotidine nizatidine ranitidine ... antacids Dietary changes that may be helpful: People with ulcers have been reported to eat more sugar than people without ulcers, though this link may only occur in those with a genetic susceptibility toward ulcer formation. Sugar has also been reported to increase stomach acidity, which could exacerbate ulcer symptoms. Salt is a stomach and intestinal irritant. Higher intakes of salt have been linked to higher risk of stomach (though not duodenal) ulcer. As a result of these reports, some doctors suggest that people with ulcers should restrict the use of both sugar and salt. However, the amount of benefit obtained by making such dietary changes remains unknown. Many years ago, researchers reported that cabbage juice accelerated healing of peptic ulcers.

Skip navigation Medical Encyclopedia Cause of peptic ulcers A major cause of peptic ulcer, although far less common than H.pylori or NSAIDS, is Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. A large amount of excess acid is produced in response to the overproduction of the hormone gastrin, which in turn is caused by tumors on the pancreas or duodenum. These tumors are usually malignant, must be removed and acid production suppressed to relieve the recurrence of the ulcers. Health Topics Drug Information Encyclopedia Dictionary ...

The surrounding tissue is normally swollen and very irritated. Ulcers can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, but are most common in the stomach called " gastric ulcers " or duodenum " duodenal ulcers ", the portion of the small intestine closest to the stomach. Peptic ulcers affect over 5 million Americans each year, and it is estimated that they will affect over 10% of Americans at some time in their life. The symptoms of a peptic ulcer include: chronic burning or gnawing stomach pain that usually begins 45 to 60 minutes after eating or at night, and may be helped by eating, taking antacids, vomiting, or drinking a large glass of water. The pain can range from mild to really severe. It may cause the person to wake up in the middle of the night. Other symptoms include: lower back pain, headaches , a choking sensation, itching, and possibly nausea and vomiting.

index search health books site map Peptic ulcer Peptic ulcer refers to an area of the stomach or duodenal lining which becomes eroded by the stomach acid. These are known as stomach and duodenal ulcers, collectively known as peptic ulcers. Symptoms You may notice no symptoms although you have an ulcer, but frequently they are associated with indigestion or pain in the upper abdomen or even lower chest. This pain may be worse before or after eating and frequently wakes you in the early hours of the morning. The pain may go to the back or sometimes be perceived elsewhere. If an ulcer bleeds you may vomit blood or partially digested blood (which looks like coffee grounds) or pass black stools (melaena), which contain changed blood, when you go to the toilet. If any of these happen call the doctor immediately (even out of hours). Causes Many factors make you more likely to have an ulcer. It often seems to run in families. Smoking increases the risk. Heavy drinking. Certain drugs eg aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs We now know that a large percentage of people who have ulcers have a germ (Helicobacter pylori) in their stomach which they probably picked up many years previously, which makes the ulcer more likely to occur and more difficult to heal. Diagnosis Your doctor may treat you on the assumption of the diagnosis, but may well arrange either a barium meal X-Ray or a visual inspection using a fibre-optic tube passed down the throat (upper gastrointestinal endoscopy). The endoscopy is preferred by the experts as they can see the lining of the stomach and duodenum and take biopsies which allow them to rule out more serious conditions as well as looking for the presence of Helicobacter pylori.

For instance, too much coffee, tea, chocolate, smoking and alcohol. Thanks to some Australian Researchers we now know that most Peptic Ulcers are actually caused by a bacterial infection. Please be aware that this is relatively new, and some misleading and simply out dated pamphlets that are still in circulation (Save-On Drugs /1992). This bacterial infection is called H. pylori - (Helicobacter pylori) that infects the stomach. This infection is common throughout the world, and Its been suggested that it could of even been acquired as far back as your childhood. Usually, people infected have no symptoms, and develop no problems as a result. However, about 10 to 15 percent of the people infected with H. pylori will eventually develop a peptic ulcer.

Health Matters All in the Mind The Buzz Earthbeat ... Quantum Peptic Ulcers Broadcast Monday 9 December 2002 with Norman Swan Summary: The discovery of Helicobacter pylori revolutionised ulcer treatment because antibiotics could be acced to acid-lowering medications. However, this treatment doesn't work for everyone and research suggests that there may be more ulcer bacteria than Helicobacter Transcript: Perth is also famous as the place where the peptic ulcer germ, Helicobacter pylori was discovered. Peptic ulcers are those in the stomach and the next part of the intestine, the duodenum. Helicobacter pylori revolutionised ulcer treatment because antibiotics could be added to acid-lowering medications in the hope of a cure. But the treatment doesn’t work in everyone, and research from Michigan suggests that there may be more ulcer bacteria than Helicobacter. It’s a complex story involving what may be misguided notions of why we have acid in the stomach in the first place, and the role of a hormone called gastrin.

Home Jackson Gastro Patient Education Peptic Ulcer Disease Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a very common ailment, affecting one out of eight persons in the United States. The causes of PUD have gradually become clear. With this understanding have come new and better ways to treat ulcers and even cure them. Anatomy and Fuznction of the Stomach The stomach produces a very strong acid. This acid helps digest and break down food before it enters the small intestine (duodenum). The lining of the stomach is covered by a thick protective mucous layer which prevents the acid from injuring the wall of the stomach. What Causes Peptic Ulcers? An ulcer is an open sore in the lining of the stomach or intestine, much like mouth or skin ulcers. Peptic ulcers are eventually caused by acid and pepsin, a digestive stomach enzyme. These ulcers can occur in the stomach, where they are called gastric ulcers. Or they can occur in the first portion of the intestine. These are called duodenal ulcers. In the end, it is acid that causes the injury to the stomach or bowel lining. However, a revolutionary and startling recent discovery is that most peptic ulcers result from a stomach infection caused by the bacteria, Helicobacter pylori. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)

Facts About Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers During normal digestion, food moves from the mouth down the esophagus into the stomach. The stomach produces hydrochloric acid and an enzyme called pepsin to digest the food. From the stomach, food passes into the upper part of the small intestine, called the duodenum, where digestion and nutrient absorption continue. An ulcer is a sore or lesion that forms in the lining of the stomach or duodenum where hydrochloric acid and pepsin are present. These ulcers are referred to as peptic ulcers gastric ulcers in the stomach and duodenal ulcers in the duodenum. About one in 10 Americans develop at least one ulcer during their lifetimes. Ulcers affect about five million people each year. More than 40,000 people each year have surgery because of persistent symptoms or problems from ulcers. Each year, nearly 6,000 people die of ulcer-related complications. Ulcers can develop at any age, but they are rare among teenagers and even more uncommon in children. Duodenal ulcers occur for the first time usually between the ages of 30 and 50.

A peptic ulcer is an inflamed break in the lining of the stomach or the duodenum (the part of the digestive tract that immediately follows the stomach). A typical peptic ulcer is between 10 and 20 millimetres across. Duodenal ulcers are the more common type of ulcer, affecting up to one in 10 people. Gastric (stomach) ulcers affect approximately one in 30 people. Peptic ulcers affect both men and women. They most often occur from early middle age onwards, with gastric ulcers being more common in elderly people. Peptic ulcers may be acute (appear suddenly) or chronic (go on for a long time). Acute ulcers are often multiple, produce no symptoms and usually heal without scarring. Chronic ulcers are deeper, usually occur individually and usually produce symptoms. They leave a scar when they heal. What causes a peptic ulcer and who is at risk? To protect the body from infection from organisms eaten in food and to help break down the food that is eaten, the contents of the stomach are very acidic. The lining of the stomach and duodenum is covered in mucus (a thick, smooth fluid) to protect it from this acid. Sometimes the stomach produces excess acid or there is insufficient mucus, and damage to the lining from the acid can result.

In recent years, attention has focused on a more biological element with the identification of bacteria as a cause of peptic ulcers. "The identification of Helicobacter pylori as an infectious cause of peptic ulcer disease has been considered by many to disprove the possibility that there is an important relationship between anxiety disorders and gastrointestinal disease," says study author Renee D. Goodwin, Ph.D., from the Department of Epidemiology at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University in New York City.

Randomised trial of eradication of Helicobacter pylori before non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy to prevent peptic ulcers Authors Chan F, Sung J, Chung S, To K, Yung M, Leung V, Lee Y, et al. Source Lancet. 350:975-9. October 4, 1997. Institutions Prince of Wales Hospital and The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. Support None indicated. Background Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are frequently prescribed medications which can cause gastric and duodenal ulcers. Prevention with misoprostol and/or proton pump inhibitors is effective but expensive; more cost-effective methods of prevention are needed. The role of H pylori in the pathogenesis of NSAID induced ulcers is not clear. This study was undertaken to study the effectiveness of H pylori eradication in preventing NSAID induced peptic ulcer disease. Methods Patients Patients over 18 years of age requiring NSAID therapy for musculoskeletal disorders were recruited from outpatient clinics. Exclusions: prior use of NSAIDS (including ASA) for over one month; prior anti-H pylori therapy; any use of NSAIDS, anti-ulcer therapy, steroids, anticoagulants or cytotoxic therapy in the previous 8 weeks; history of gastric ulcer disease, gastric surgery or renal impairment. Pre-randomization endoscopy both rapid urease and histology were positive.
