Home Jackson Gastro Patient Education Peptic Ulcer Disease Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a very common ailment, affecting one out of eight persons in the United States. The causes of PUD have gradually become clear. With this understanding have come new and better ways to treat ulcers and even cure them. Anatomy and Fuznction of the Stomach The stomach produces a very strong acid. This acid helps digest and break down food before it enters the small intestine (duodenum). The lining of the stomach is covered by a thick protective mucous layer which prevents the acid from injuring the wall of the stomach. What Causes Peptic Ulcers? An ulcer is an open sore in the lining of the stomach or intestine, much like mouth or skin ulcers. Peptic ulcers are eventually caused by acid and pepsin, a digestive stomach enzyme. These ulcers can occur in the stomach, where they are called gastric ulcers. Or they can occur in the first portion of the intestine. These are called duodenal ulcers. In the end, it is acid that causes the injury to the stomach or bowel lining. However, a revolutionary and startling recent discovery is that most peptic ulcers result from a stomach infection caused by the bacteria, Helicobacter pylori. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)

About Us Health Info Programs and Services Jobs and Education ... Digestive and Liver Disorders Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers (Peptic Ulcers) What is a stomach or duodenal ulcer? An ulcer is an open sore, or lesion, usually found on the skin or mucous membrane areas of the body. An ulcer in the lining of the stomach or duodenum, where hydrochloric acid and pepsin are present, is referred to as a peptic ulcer. When the peptic ulcer is located in the stomach, it is called a gastric ulcer . When the peptic ulcer is located in the duodenum, it is called a duodenal ulcer What causes gastric and duodenal ulcers? In the past, it was believed lifestyle factors, such as stress and diet caused ulcers. Later, researchers determined that stomach acids - hydrochloric acid and pepsin - contributed to ulcer formation. Today, research shows that most ulcers (80 percent of gastric ulcers and 90 percent of duodenal ulcers) develop as a result of infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). It is believed that, although all of these factors - lifestyle, acid and pepsin, and H. pylori - play a role in ulcer development, H. pylori is considered to be the primary cause in most cases.

About Us Health Info Programs and Services Jobs and Education ... Digestive Disorders Facts About Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers During normal digestion, food moves from the mouth down the esophagus into the stomach. The stomach produces hydrochloric acid and an enzyme called pepsin to digest the food. From the stomach, food passes into the upper part of the small intestine, called the duodenum, where digestion and nutrient absorption continue. An ulcer is a sore or lesion that forms in the lining of the stomach or duodenum where hydrochloric acid and pepsin are present. These ulcers are referred to as peptic ulcers gastric ulcers in the stomach and duodenal ulcers in the duodenum. About one in 10 Americans develop at least one ulcer during their lifetimes. Ulcers affect about five million people each year. More than 40,000 people each year have surgery because of persistent symptoms or problems from ulcers. Each year, nearly 6,000 people die of ulcer-related complications. Ulcers can develop at any age, but they are rare among teenagers and even more uncommon in children. Duodenal ulcers occur for the first time usually between the ages of 30 and 50.

Peptic ulcers are common: One in 10 Americans develops an ulcer at some time in his or her life. One cause of peptic ulcer is bacterial infection, but some ulcers are caused by long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs), like aspirin and ibuprofen. In a few cases, cancerous tumors in the stomach or pancreas can cause ulcers. Peptic ulcers are not caused by spicy food or stress. What is H. Pylori? Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria. Researchers believe that H. pylori is responsible for the majority of peptic ulcers. H. pylori infection is common in the United States: About 20 percent of people under 40 years old and half of those over 60 have it. Most infected people, however, do not develop ulcers. How Does H.

Using high doses of steroids over a long time, for example, for asthma or rheumatic conditions, can cause a gastric ulcer. Even relatively small doses of anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or aspirin, can lead to an ulcer in the stomach in people who are prone to ulcers. Duodenal ulcers, which are found lower down in the abdomen, are more common in men. They heal more easily than the gastric type and usually develop just at the beginning of the duodenum. Symptoms The symptoms of peptic ulcers tend to overlap but there is a fairly general pattern. Gastric ulcers Constant pain or cramps can happen which are particularly bad after eating (eating tends to settle pain in a duodenal ulcer).

peptic ulcer disease By David J. Craner, MD Images (click to view larger image) Peptic ulcer disease occurs when the lining of the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum is worn away. The damage may be caused by stomach acid or other factors. What is going on in the body? Peptic ulcer disease most commonly occurs in the upper part of the small intestine, called the duodenum. It also occurs in the stomach. Ulcers less commonly occur in the esophagus. The esophagus is the food tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? Peptic ulcer disease causes no symptoms at all in some people. Common symptoms include: black, tarlike, or maroon-colored stools blood in the stool burning or gnawing pain in the stomach, the chest, or the back nausea stomach pain, also known as epigastric pain vomiting What are the causes and risks of the condition? Stomach acid is thought to play a role in causing peptic ulcer disease. A bacterial infection known as Haemophilus pylori may also be important in causing a person's ulcer. Ulcers may also be caused by the use of certain pain medicines . Each of these factors breaks down the natural protective lining of the digestive tract. Inherited factors are also thought to play a role in ulcer formation. What can be done to prevent the condition?

WHAT CAUSES PEPTIC ULCERS? Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) Before the discovery of the bacterium Helicobacter (H.) pylori , the stomach was believed to be a sterile environment. Now, H. Pylori is known to be a major cause of peptic ulcers. The bacteria appears to trigger ulcers in the following way: H. Pylori's corkscrew shape enables it to penetrate the mucous membrane of the stomach or duodenum so that it can attach itself to the lining. It survives its highly acidic environment by producing urease, an enzyme that generates ammonia and neutralizes the acid. H. Pylori then produces a number of toxins and factors that in certain individuals cause inflammation and damage to the lining, leading to ulcers. It also produces changes in certain immune factors that allow it to persist for a person's lifetime. The bacteria is also now considered to be a major cause of active chronic gastritis (inflammation of the stomach) and active chronic duodenitis (inflammation of the duodenum), and is strongly linked to stomach (gastric) cancer. Early studies suggested that H. Pylori

Peptic Ulcer Also indexed as: Duodenal Ulcer, Gastric Ulcer, Stomach Ulcer Peptic ulcer is often caused by infection from Helicobacter pylori antibiotics Conventional treatment options: Peptic ulcers are typically treated with antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin clarithromycin tetracycline metronidazole ... bismuth subsalicylate Helicobacter pylori . In addition, other medications may be prescribed to control stomach acidity, including histamine H inhibitors (e.g., cimetidine famotidine nizatidine ranitidine ... antacids Dietary changes that may be helpful: People with ulcers have been reported to eat more sugar than people without ulcers, though this link may only occur in those with a genetic susceptibility toward ulcer formation. Sugar has also been reported to increase stomach acidity, which could exacerbate ulcer symptoms. Salt is a stomach and intestinal irritant. Higher intakes of salt have been linked to higher risk of stomach (though not duodenal) ulcer. As a result of these reports, some doctors suggest that people with ulcers should restrict the use of both sugar and salt. However, the amount of benefit obtained by making such dietary changes remains unknown. Many years ago, researchers reported that cabbage juice accelerated healing of peptic ulcers.

Closely related to Helicobacter are species of the genera Aquaspirillum Azospirillum Spirillum , and Camplyobacter . The genetics of Helicobacter pylori are complex; there are many strains of H . pylori which are distinguished by the human disease with which they are associated. Once Helicobacter pylori colonizes its host, it lives in the interface between the surface of gastric epithelial cells and the overlying mucus gel layer, often clustering at the junctions of epithelial cells. In addition H. pylori can also be found on top of the gastric epithelium in the duodenum and esophagus. It was not until 1983 that H . pylori was recognized as having any medical importance. Now, it has been proven that H. pylori

Links Peptic Ulcers Nearly 25 % of people in our community suffer from dyspepsia, which means symptoms of bad digestion like abdominal pain or burning, fullness and gas. These symptoms are commonly referred to as those of "acidity " and most people resort to self medication. It is important to remember that any new dyspepsia of more than one month duration should be investigated. Further, at age above 45 years and the presence of "alarm" symptoms like loss of appetite, weight loss and difficulty in swallowing investigations are mandatory. Peptic ulcer is responsible for about 10 % of these symptoms. It is important for patients suffering from dyspepsia to be evaluated by their physician as apart from ulcers, cancer of stomach may also present in the same way. Peptic ulcer implies the development of a breach in the lining of stomach or upper small intestine called duodenum and to the naked eye it looks like a wound. This illness effects nearly 10% of people in our country. It is commonly found in young people at the prime of their age and has been said to be associated with " hurry, worry and curry". The factors responsible for causing ulcers include cigarette smoking, use of painkiller drugs, physical and mental stress and a diet rich in chilies, coffee, colas and rice. However recent research has shown that the most important factor is the presence of a spiral shaped bacteria in the stomach called Helicobacter pylori. This bacterium enters the stomach by the oral route and is usually acquired at a young age. The organism may be present in about 40 % of healthy people but transformation into disease like peptic ulcer and stomach cancer occurs only in few.
