Why H. pylori is not destroyed by stomach acid?

Granted pepsin could kill a cell by hydrolyzing crucial proteins, it doesn't specifically destroy cells. It is a protease, a protein-digesting enzyme. There are two reasons why pepsin does not, under normal conditions, turn around and start digesting the cells of the host. Pepsin is only present in the stomach, where it is compartmentalized from the rest of the body. The mucous membrane protects the lining of the stomach so the stomach is not degraded by the enzymes or the strong hydrochloric acid. Secondly, pepsin is only active as an enzyme in very acidic environments like that of the stomach. Once the chyme of the stomach is dumped into the duodenum of the small intestine, the pH increases dramatically and the pepsin is denatured, no longer active to digest protein.

I assume this is a gastric or duodenal ulcer. Treatment depends on the cause. The most common cause is a bacteria known as H pylori. There are several lab tests to determine if this bacteria is present. Any Family Practice Physician, Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner can order the specific test based on your circumstances. If this test is positive, treatment consists of , usually, 2 antibiotics for two weeks, plus an acid reducing medication known as a proton pump inhibitor- Prilosec is an example, but there are others. The PPI is continued for 8 weeks. There are alternative treatments, but all include an antibiotic/PPI combination. There are other causes of ulcers, such as medication induced from medications such as Non Steroidal Anti-inlammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, Naprosyn, etc, used on a chronic basis.
