Treating peptic ulcer disease Do you suffer from Peptic Ulcer Disease? Learn how to protect your and cope with the pain of ulcers. Peptic Ulcer Disease is the single most common disorder diagnosed in North America today. Men, women and children are equally affected by this painful, irritating condition. Quick treatment is key, since new research now suggests that repeated stomach ulcers have the capability of becoming malignant over time. The latest ulcer studies have proven that some suffer ulcers because of an overgrowth of bacteria. DEFINITION Ulcers are small erosions within the gastrointestinal tract. They are not contagious or cancerous growths. There are two basic types of ulcers: DUODENAL ULCERS are the most commonly diagnosed. They occur within one foot of the small intestine, just beyond the stomach, and are seen more frequently in male patients, though a significant number of women suffer duodenal ulcers, as well. GASTRIC ULCERS form inside the lining of the stomach and are especially painful. DUODENAL ULCER SYMPTOMS Burning, boring pain experienced before or in-between meals.

Peptic ulcer disease DESCRIPTION: A chronic ulcer in the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. Duodenal ulcer (DU): Most located in the duodenal bulb. Multiple ulcers, and if distal to the bulb raise the possibility of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Gastric ulcer (GU): Much less common than DU (in NSAID absence). Commonly located along lesser curvature of the antrum near the incisura and in the pre-pyloric area. Esophageal ulcers: A peptic ulcer in the distal esophagus may be part of Barrett's epithelial change due to chronic reflux of gastroduodenal contents Ectopic gastric mucosal ulceration: May develop in patients with Meckel's diverticula or other sites of ectopic gastric mucosa System(s) affected: Gastrointestinal Genetics: Higher incidence with HLA-B12, B5, Bw35 phenotypes, identical twins Incidence/Prevalence in USA: DU: 4 times more common than GU. Lifetime prevalence = 10% for men; 5% for women (gender gap is closing). 200,000-400,000 new DU cases/annually. GU: 87,500 new cases annually. Incidence of new GU in adults; 50/100,000 Predominant age: DU 25-75 years (rare before age 15) Predominant sex: GU: Male = Female (female predominance among NSAID users) CAUSES: Imbalance between aggressive factors (e.g., gastric acid, pepsin, bile salts, pancreatic enzymes) and defensive factors maintaining mucosal integrity (e.g., mucus, bicarbonate, blood flow, prostaglandins, growth factors, cell turnover) which may relate to H. pylori infection

Medical information for patients index search health books site map Peptic ulcer Peptic ulcer refers to an area of the stomach or duodenal lining which becomes eroded by the stomach acid. These are known as stomach and duodenal ulcers, collectively known as peptic ulcers. Symptoms You may notice no symptoms although you have an ulcer, but frequently they are associated with indigestion or pain in the upper abdomen or even lower chest. This pain may be worse before or after eating and frequently wakes you in the early hours of the morning. The pain may go to the back or sometimes be perceived elsewhere. If an ulcer bleeds you may vomit blood or partially digested blood (which looks like coffee grounds) or pass black stools (melaena), which contain changed blood, when you go to the toilet. If any of these happen call the doctor immediately (even out of hours). Causes Many factors make you more likely to have an ulcer. It often seems to run in families. Smoking increases the risk. Heavy drinking. Certain drugs eg aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs We now know that a large percentage of people who have ulcers have a germ (Helicobacter pylori) in their stomach which they probably picked up many years previously, which makes the ulcer more likely to occur and more difficult to heal.

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 Function 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. "Peptic Ulcer" is the term used to describe either or both of these two types of 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.

79. Peptic Ulcer Disease And Non Ulcer Dyspepsia Diet Jackson Gastroenterology s Web Site includes office information and patienteducation material on digestive and liver disorders, and nutrition. http://www.gicare.com/pated/edtgs04.htm

Home Jackson Gastro Patient Education Peptic Ulcer Disease and Non Ulcer Dyspepsia Diet Purpose A diet that avoids stomach irritants is for those patients who suffer from symptoms of peptic ulcer disease or non-ulcer dyspepsia. In peptic ulcer disease, the patient has one or more ulcers in the stomach or duodenum (the first part of the intestine beyond the stomach). Non-ulcer dyspepsia refers to these same symptoms but without the presence of an ulcer. These symptoms, which include discomfort or burning in the upper abdomen, often occur an hour or so after eating and may be relieved by milk, food, or antacids. In the past, diet was considered very important in treating ulcers. Now physicians know that foods do not actually cause an ulcer. There are a few foods, however, that can aggravate ulcer symptoms or delay healing. Nutrition Facts Depending on individual food selection, this diet meets the National Research Council's Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). Special Considerations Items most frequently associated with gastric discomfort include the following: black pepper, red or hot pepper, chili powder, caffeine, regular and decaffeinated coffee or tea, alcohol, cocoa, chocolate, cola beverages, citrus fruits and juices, fatty and fried foods, tomato products, and peppermint. These should be eliminated from the diet unless specifically allowed by the physician and/or dietitian. Additional adjustments may be made according to individual tolerances.
