Peptic ulcers occur in the stomach - gastric ulcers - and the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) - duodenal ulcers. They result from an imbalance between the amount of acid in your stomach and its protective lining.
In the past it was believed that ulcers were caused by stress, poor eating habits, too much rich, fatty food or spicy food, alcohol or caffeine. However, it is now known that most peptic ulcers are caused by the Helicobacter pylori bacterium (also known asH. pylori). This is particularly true of duodenal ulcers.
The cause of most other peptic ulcers is the regular use of medicines such as aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), which are often used to treat the symptoms of Arthritis.
