Infections can also develop in these areas due to compromised skin integrity, further exacerbating the issue.

Why H. pylori is not destroyed by stomach acid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Granted pepsin could kill a cell by hydrolyzing crucial proteins, it doesn't specifically destroy cells. It is a protease, a protein-digesting enzyme. There are two reasons why pepsin does not, under normal conditions, turn around and start digesting the cells of the host. Pepsin is only present in the stomach, where it is compartmentalized from the rest of the body. The mucous membrane protects the lining of the stomach so the stomach is not degraded by the enzymes or the strong hydrochloric acid. Secondly, pepsin is only active as an enzyme in very acidic environments like that of the stomach. Once the chyme of the stomach is dumped into the duodenum of the small intestine, the pH increases dramatically and the pepsin is denatured, no longer active to digest protein.

What is the best food to eat if you have ulcer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The four best foods to deal with stomach ulcers are: 1) Vegetables - particularly mild ones such as broccoli, cauliflower and potatoes. 2) Mild fruits - apples and bananas are excellent but avoid acidic fruits such as tomatoes, oranges, lemons and pineapples. 3) Some types of dairy - milk actually exacerbates ulcers so go for low fat versions of cottage cheese, cream cheese and sour cream to incorporate calcium into your diet. 4) Whole grains - complex carbohydrates (think of cereal, corn, graham crackers, pasta and rice) help fight heartburn.
