http://wellness.ucdavis.edu/medical_conditions_az/pepticulcers19.html

Extractions: Peptic Ulcers September 1999 WHAT ARE PEPTIC ULCERS? The stomach, intestines, and digestive glands produce acid and various enzymes, including pepsin, that break down and digest the starch, fat, and protein in food. The stomach itself is composed mostly of protein and must be protected from the same acid and enzymes, or it too can be attacked and broken down. Ulcers develop when an imbalance occurs between the digestive juices used by the stomach to break down food and the various factors that protect the lining of the stomach and duodenum (the part of the small intestine that adjoins the stomach). A peptic ulcer is an open sore or raw area in the lining of the upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcer) or the stomach (gastric ulcer). They average between one-quarter to one-half inch in diameter. In the US, duodenal ulcers are three times more common than gastric ulcers. The primary digestive juices, hydrochloric acid and pepsin, are powerful substances necessary for breaking food down for use by the body. Acid is always present in the stomach, but, except at meal times, in relatively small amounts. A common misbelief is that excess acid is solely responsible for producing ulcers. Hydrochloric acid, secreted in the stomach, does indeed play a part in the development of ulcers, but it is not the only culprit. Pepsin, the other major digestive fluid, is an enzyme that breaks down whatever proteins are presented to it, including, if exposed, the stomach's own tissues.

http://www.cyberspacehealthclinic.co.uk/ailments/ulcers.html

Extractions: Home Search Ailments Treatments ... z Stomach ulcers or Peptic Ulcers are caused by the action of stomach acid on the lining of the mucous membranes of the stomach wall. Symptoms vary but can include: a localised gnawing, burning pain, heartburn, local tenderness, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. The pain usually begins just after eating or within twenty minutes of a meal. Heavy drinking, smoking, stress, and taking aspirin may all contribute to the formation of an ulcer. The following complementary therapies may be used in the treatment of the stomach ulcer: Cut down on any acidic forming foods such as coffee, red meat, salt, hot, spicy foods (eg.curries), citrus fruits, vinegar and picked foods, and steer clear of aspirin. Replace with more alkaline foods: lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, rice, lean animal and vegetable proteins. Drink plenty of mineral water to keep your stomach acid at the correct level - at least 8 glasses a day between meals. Take a decoction of slippery elm (available from health foods shops). This is a demulcent which means it has a soothing effect on the mucous membranes of the gut. Take 1/2 tsp in warm water 4-6 times a day.

Links Nearly 25 % of people in our community suffer from dyspepsia, which means symptoms of bad digestion like abdominal pain or burning, fullness and gas. These symptoms are commonly referred to as those of "acidity " and most people resort to self medication. It is important to remember that any new dyspepsia of more than one month duration should be investigated. Further, at age above 45 years and the presence of "alarm" symptoms like loss of appetite, weight loss and difficulty in swallowing investigations are mandatory. Peptic ulcer is responsible for about 10 % of these symptoms. It is important for patients suffering from dyspepsia to be evaluated by their physician as apart from ulcers, cancer of stomach may also present in the same way. Peptic ulcer implies the development of a breach in the lining of stomach or upper small intestine called duodenum and to the naked eye it looks like a wound. This illness effects nearly 10% of people in our country. It is commonly found in young people at the prime of their age and has been said to be associated with " hurry, worry and curry". The factors responsible for causing ulcers include cigarette smoking, use of painkiller drugs, physical and mental stress and a diet rich in chilies, coffee, colas and rice. However recent research has shown that the most important factor is the presence of a spiral shaped bacteria in the stomach called Helicobacter pylori. This bacterium enters the stomach by the oral route and is usually acquired at a young age. The organism may be present in about 40 % of healthy people but transformation into disease like peptic ulcer and stomach cancer occurs only in few.

Recommendations A peptic ulcer is a hole in the gut lining of the stomach duodenum , or esophagus . A peptic ulcer of the stomach is called a gastric ulcer ; of the duodenum, a duodenal ulcer ; and of the esophagus, an esophageal ulcer. An ulcer occurs when the lining of these organs, normally protected by a thick mucus layer, is corroded by the acidic digestive juices which are secreted by the stomach cells. Peptic ulcer disease is common, affecting millions of Americans yearly. For many years excess acid was believed to be the major cause of ulcer disease. Accordingly, treatment emphasis was on neutralizing and inhibiting the secretion of stomach acid. While acid is still considered significant in ulcer formation, the leading cause of ulcer disease is currently believed to be infection of the stomach by a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori H.

Peptic ulcers are holes or breaks in the protective lining of the duodenum (the upper part of the small intestine) or the stomach areas that come into contact with stomach acid and pepsin, a stomach enzyme. Duodenal ulcers are more common than stomach ulcers. Comparatively rare are esophageal ulcers , which form in the esophagus and are often a result of alcohol abuse Duodenal ulcers, whose typical symptoms are recurrent upper abdominal pain and a bloated feeling after eating, are more common in men than women and generally strike between the ages of 40 and 50 years. People between 60 and 70 years old are prime targets for stomach ulcers, whose symptoms are similar to those of duodenal ulcers.

Symptoms of an ulcer very from person to person but are most often associated with abdominal discomfort 45-60 minutes after a meal or during the night. While some experience sharp burning pain, many describe it as a gnawing, burning, cramp like or aching. Ulcers can be brought on by a number of factors, with stress and anxiety being up at the top of the list. Certain prescription drugs and even the use of aspirin can increase stomach acidity, especially if taken over long periods of time. Sugar is also known to increase stomach acidity. Even nutritional supplements such as vitamin C can contribute to ulcers. Recent studies, however, indicate that the bacteria Helicobacter pylori may be the underlying cause of peptic ulcers. Evidence shows that it is always found in people with ulcers and rarely found in individual who do not suffer from this condition.
