What are the causes of the peptic ulcer?
Peptic ulcer is mostly caused by a bacterium (H. Pylori) and by inadequate use of medication. For example, following a treatment with NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen sodium) for a long time could increase the level of produced acid inside your stomach. H. Pylori bacterium weakens the natural barrier that protects the lining of your stomach against the acid’s action. Smoking and drinking alcohol and coffee are also responsible for peptic ulcer. Stress is also a factor that contributes to the extent of ulcer, so you should avoid getting stressed. Try to avoid the following aliments because they only injure your stomach line: pepper, chilly, peppermint, citrus fruits, cocoa, chocolate, cola, and fried fatty foods.
