I don"t think there is a single answer however in 2005 two Australian scientists received the Nobel Prize for services to medicine by proving that peptic ulcers are in fact treatable by antibiotics, and not due to aciddic imbalances damaging the stomach lining as previously thought. This has revolutionised treatment for ulcers. Search: Nobel Prize medicine ulcers in Google for all links. Yes, the majority of gastric ulcers are caused by an organism called Helicobacter pyloris. It can be treated by a triple therapy of:- * Antibiotic e.g. metronidazole * PPI e.g. omeprazole * H2 Antagonist e.g. Cimetidine.
