STOMACH ULCER

I’ve heard of lots of rumors about stomach ulcer and with the knowledge I’ve acquired over the years, stories I’ve heard, experiences I’ve witnessed, I know matters of the health are not what anybody should be misinformed about. I’d try to make this informative article simple.
Your stomach secretes gastric acid that can burn through your skin but doesn’t burn through your stomach because your stomach is lined by mucous like substance that is known as mucosal lining. When you get infected with H. Pylori that has the ability to survive in the stomach (acidic environment) by neutralizing the acid, it colonizes the stomach and can cause inflammation, it also creates a chance for the acid to reach stomach wall. Take it as ulcer is a wound on the inside of the stomach.
For treatment of stomach ulcer, you will have to visit your doctor. H Pylori can be gotten from contaminated water, utensils, saliva of infected persons. Abuse of NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs e.g. ibuprofen) can lead to breakdown of mucosal lining of the stomach which can cause the acid to reach stomach wall. Alcohol, caffeine, smoking are risk factors and amidst the rubbish you’d ever do, don’t include fasting, drinking fizzy drinks, high consumption of pepper as an ulcer patient and remember to visit your doctor for treatment.
