They are caused in some people be stress. The stress causes an excess production of stomach acid which causes the inside of the stomach to ulcerate. In other people, consuming foods that have a high acidic content can cause ulcers. Such as citrus juices and colas and tea and coffee.

Also, people who take a lot of aspirin can get ulcers.
