Ulcers, also sometimes called stomach ulcers, peptic ulcers, gastric ulcers or duodenal ulcers, are sores or lesions in your stomach or the upper part of your small intestines. Ulcers develop when the acids that digest foods damage the stomach or intestinal walls.

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.

What are possible causes of stomach ulcers?
The causes of gastric ulcers include H. pylori infection, NSAIDs (Non-steroidal-anti-inflammatory drugs), stress, and malignancy. If malignancy is identified, surgical removal is undertaken. If H.pylori infection is confirmed (by culturing or by detection of circulating antibodies) appropriate combination antimicrobial therapy is instituted. Otherwise, H2 receptor antagonists or H+, K+-ATPase inhibitors are administered. Physiologically speaking, peptic ulcers arise due to an imbalance of acid secretory and mucosal protective mechanisms. About 20% of stomach ulcers are caused by NSAIDS such as aspirin, indomethacin, etodolac, ibuprofen, tolmetin, meclofenamate, etc. About 80% of stomach ulcers are caused by H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori), which is a bacterial infection. Summary of factors leading to stomach ulcers:
- H. pylori infection.
- Decreased mucous protection of stomach lining. Acid attacks unprotected stomach lining leading to ulcer.
- Excessive use of NSAIDS.
- The mucosal lining of the stomach is eroded.
- Secreted HCl and pepsin attack the unprotected surface of the stomach.
- Insufficient prostaglandin production.
- Complicating factors: smoking, alcohol, stress.
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.

Can Penicillin help to cure mouth ulcers?
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.
