EVERYDAY TIPS FOR LIVING WITH PEPTIC ULCERS
Helpful hints to ease your symptoms and aid healing
It’s Not Spicy Food or Stress
For nearly 100 years, scientists and doctors thought that ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food and alcohol, and the cure was bed rest and a bland diet. Later, stomach acid was blamed, and antacids were added to the list of cures. Some ulcers are caused by medications called NSAIDS (non-steriodal anti-inflammatories), which include aspirin and ibuprofen, but in 1982, the bacterium H. pylori was discovered to be the mail culprit. Study after study has shown that destroying the microbe with antibiotics cures peptic ulcers in most people. If you have an ulcer and your doctor hasn’t given you antibiotics, press the issue or get a second opinion.
