Why do you think reducing the amount of acid in the stomach would help to heal stomach ulcers?
Because then the mucus will have time to come back and protect the stomach lining from creating ulcers.
Can sunburns cause peptic ulcers?
I don't think so. Ulcers are generally caused by the bacteria H. pylori.
What is Hpilouri?
I think you mean H. Pylori or Heliocobacter Pylori. They are peptic ulcers found in the stomach.
Where are ulcers commonly found?
In the stomach (followed by the duodenum and esophagus). However, small ulcers of the mouth are more common than most people think, and ulcers of the skin occur too often in the elderly and infirm.
What did people used to think caused ulcers?
Worry, stress and dietary factors causing gastric acid were thought to be the cause of ulcers.
What animal kingdom is bateria in?
I think it is eukaryotes
What are the causes of digestive ulcers?
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.

Stomach! Also, the duodenum, and the esophagus, too.
Why do ulcers hurt?
For almost 100 years, doctors believed that stress, spicy foods, and alcohol caused most ulcers. Now we know that most peptic ulcers are caused by a particular bacterial infection in the stomach and upper intestine, by certain medications, or by smoking.In 1982, two doctors - Barry Marshall and Robin Warren - discovered a certain kind of bacteria that can live and grow in the stomach. Both doctors went on to win the Nobel Prize for their discovery. The medical name for these bacteria is Helicobacter pylori(or H. pylori, for short). Today doctors know that most peptic ulcers are caused by an infection from H. pylori.Experts believe that 90% of all people with ulcers are infected with H. pylori. But strangely enough, most people infected with H. pylori don't develop an ulcer. Doctors aren't completely sure why, but think it may partly depend upon the individual person - for example, those who develop ulcers may already have a problem with the lining of their stomachs.It's also thought that some people may naturally secrete more stomach acid than others - and it doesn't matter what stresses they're exposed to or what foods they eat. Peptic ulcers may have something to do with the combination of H. pylori infection and the level of acid in the stomach.
What is the percent of people having ulcers?
I think 5
What is the most likely cause of an ulcer?
Ulcers are caused by the thinning of mucous on the stomach walls. When there is no mucous, the walls of the stomach are exposed to the hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Many ulcers in the stomach are caused by a bacteria called Helcobacter pylori. Luckily, many testing options (including a simple breath test) and treatments are available for eradicating the bacteria; at that point, the ulcer will heal.
