A peptic ulcer is erosion in the lining of the stomach or the first part of the small intestine, an area called the duodenum.
If the peptic ulcer is located in the stomach it is called a gastric ulcer.
There's not actually much difference. They're caused by the same thing, but "gastric" refers specifically to the stomach while "peptic" can include the small intestine. In other words, the main difference between gastric ulcer and peptic ulcer is location.
gastric ulcer:
- occurs at the stomach
- hurts after immediately eating
duodenal ulcer:
- occurs at the intestines
- hurts 2 hours after eating
- pain relieved by eating

Duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers and esophageal ulcers are all subcategories of peptic ulcers.
a type of sore or hole (perforation) that forms on the lining of the stomach (gastric ulcer) or intestine (duodenal ulcer)
Ulcer of stomach known as Gastric ulcer. Ulcer in small intestine known as small bowel ulcer
Gastritis is not a single disease, it is immflammation of the stomach lining and has many causes from drinking too much to a bacteria in the stomach. A peptic ulcer is when a sore or ulcer has been made in the lining of the stomach by the stomach acid.
The most common forms of peptic ulcer are duodenal and gastric.
An ulcer is an erosion in the mucosal layer of the digestive tract. A gastric ulcer occurs in the lining of the stomach. A duodenal ulcer is an ulcer that occurs in the mucosa of the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). Both types of ulcers have been known to be caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori and are easily treatable. If untreated, they can lead to stomach cancer.

Bacterial infection is the most common cause of duodenal ulcers, or reflux of gastric acid into the esophagus, which connects the mouth and the stomach.
