Ulcers

Caffeine, Chocolate, all spicy, fried and high fat foods. Also alcohol and smoking. I am also affected by garlic and tomatoes.

You are limited on food when you have stomach ulcers, anything that has caffeine is a no no (coffee, soda, tea,etc). Any acidic fruit is a no no (oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, etc). Veggies like corn, tomatoes are a no no as well. Fresh vegetables are great even raw, and plenty of meat (beef, pork, chicken, fish) is good if it is low in fat and not fried (I recommend grilled meat and veggies). Eat three meals a day good portions, don't over do it. Snack in between meals, this will neutralize the acid level. Drink low fat or fat free milk and eat mild cheeses, low fat yogurt is good too. Do not lay down directly after you eat, wait at least an hour.

Stomach ulcers are located in the upper left quadrant. Stomach ulcers are painful sores that are found in the small intestine or stomach lining.

I have just had a arthroscopy on my knee and an ulcer was discovered on the cartilage on my knee. It had not reached the bone yet but in about 10 years it will have, which means I will need a partial or full knee replacement. It was only today I found this out and anyone that knows about this, please let me know. I have just had a arthroscopy on my knee and an ulcer was discovered on the cartilage on my knee.

These are often called pressure sores. These are formed when a person lies in one position too long and blood flow is cut off to the tissue. You will see this where a person has a "boney" part that they are lying on. This compresses the tissue over it and slows the flow of blood. The sacrum, coccyx, heels or the hips, but other sites such as the elbows, knees, ankles or the back of the cranium can be affected.

Turning the patient is very important. When you sleep at night, you also turn yourself.

There are actually many different illnesses which can cause stabbing abdominal pain, however, the probability is that a stabbing pain on the left side of the abdomen is a kidney stone in your left kidney. This can be checked by a urine test (if you have a kidney stone there will be red blood cells in the urine).

Ulcerative colitis is a serious chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine and rectum. It is usually characterized by recurring episodes of abdominal pain and fever and chills and frequent diarrhea.

The short answer is 'no'. It depends on what has caused the mouth ulcer. Common causes of mouth ulcers include local trauma (e.g. biting your lip), poorly fitted dentures and viral infection. Penicillin will not help in any of these situations. Penicillins only work to treat bacterial infections. A bacterial infection is unlikely to be the cause of mouth ulcers.

Well, there is no immediate cure. They are most ofter caused by someone laying in bed for too long without moving around. They must be exposed to the air, probably a good over the counter antibiotic gel like Neosporin, a proper nonstick bandage, and time. You should treat them like any open wound.

A gastric ulcer is a 1/2-2 inch area on the lining of the inside of your stomach that has been worn away through some sort of contact of acid. Gastric ulcers are sometimes called stomach ulcers or peptic ulcers, though peptic ulcers can also refer to duodunal ulcers. Gastric ulcers are common among the Helicobacter pylori infection, an infection of the pyloric sphincter (the valve connecting the stomach and the upper small intestine). Treatment can be medications such as over-the-counter antacid pills, or your physician can prescribe stronger medications. Three ways to prevent gastric ulcers are to wash your hands before and after eating and going to the bathroom, not smoking, and not over-drinking.

Ambesol or Oragel are over the counter topical product and Cepacol can also help.

A mix of Maalox and benedryl liquid can help - especially if you add prescription viscous lidocaine.

Motrin and Tylenol can also help.

Ya.. helps you die sooner. The above seems like a pat answer to an extremely complex question. I smoked for 25 yrs before quitting only to find my autoimmune system attacking my colon with bleeding ulcerative colitis (UC) 14 months after quitting in 2000. Hospitalized and left to prednizone and remicade infussions monthly, I asked my GI doctor about the connection between cigarette smoking and UC. Because cigarettes are considered taboo in the medical community for reasons understood, he basically told me, yes, there is something in the "smoke" that keeps the autoimmune system from attacking. My choices were quality over quantity. In other words, by resuming smoking, I could live out my life without my body attacking itself, however, I would most likely shorten my life span. I decided the risk was worth a better quality of life and resumed smoking in 2002. To this date, I have not had one bout with UC and my GI checkups show it remains in remission. Tough choice but it was the one for me. Most people find these stories of smoking actually helping to be a tall tale. But a quick "google" search of the words Ulcerative Colitis and Smoking will bring back more hits than one would think possible.

A peptic ulcer is erosion in the lining of the stomach or the first part of the small intestine, an area called the duodenum.

If the peptic ulcer is located in the stomach it is called a gastric ulcer.

Stomach Ulcers are caused by the Helicobactor Pylori Bacteria & are not caused by stress or drinking or any thing that you ingest, however IF you have an Ulcer, Many, many things can make the symptoms worse Especially Alcohol, Spicy food & many over the counter drugs, These things produce excess stomach acid which irritates & inflames the ulcer often making it bleed. If left untreated for too long an Ulcer will burst or perforate the stomach lining causing internal bleeding & or hemorrhaging which can be fatal. You must take a course of specific Antibiotics for up to 3 months to cure an ulcer & you must stick to a specific dietary regimen until the ulcer is healed. Aspirin is acidic & will exacerbate the symptoms of an Ulcer so it should be avoided until the ulcer is cured.

If it is active, in treatment, or untreatable, then yes; it will disqualify you from service.

An ulser is an exsposed nerve.

Aviod: Spicy , gassey spices and vegetables. No sausages hotdogs or food in that type of casing with that type of filling. Aviod Highly concetrated bottled juice beverages always dilute with water. Aviod brown rice mixtures. Corn is ok but wouldn't recommend it. You might wind up with another problem. Its kinda like going to a mechanic sometimes. Aviod vegetables like celery and radishes.

OK things: Oatmeal, eggs, pastas, bananas, broths, low grizzle meats, the softer the meat, the easier it is for your stomach to digest it. Water and lots of it, always clears your pipes. Seafood is fine if you can eat it. Vegtables are ok as long as they are cooked enough that they are soft enough to be easily digestible. Limit yourself on the amount of bread that you eat. Eat all kinds of breads if you wish, but stick most like to white breads they slowly move on to the harsher stuff. Sweets are fine though.

Yes, it most certainly can. Salmonella can induce an acute inflammatory response, which can cause ulceration.

After eating too much for Thanksgiving dinner, he felt ulcerous.

No, red wine is not really bad for an ulcer if you drink a glass a day.
