Too much of any caffeine can lead to the development of gastritis (irritation/inflammation of the stomach lining) which can lead to ulcer formation. This includes coffee, tea and certain types of sodas/pops.

The main symptom of ulcers (peptic ulcers, that means in your stomach) is pain, that tends to disappear after meals. I think the first thing you need to do is find out if you are helicobacter positive. Helicobacter pylori is a bacteria that is associated with ulcers. The test is very simple, called breath test, and can be done even at the chemists. If that is positive they'll have to look into your stomach at the hospital using endoscopy.

It's the acid in those items that causes ulcers or blisters. Acid changes the normal PH balance of the mouth. Rinsing the mouth after consuming a high acid item reduces and / or completely emliminates that risk.

NO! Ibuprophin and midol will NOT help! They'll make it worse! Eat bread, or saltines or anything else that will absorb any extra stomache acid. Wait a little bit, if that doesn't help, dring some sprite or other pop (no caffine) Stay away from dairy till it's gone!!! FEEL BETTER!!!

Smoking does increase the risk of stomach ulcers and you should not smoke anyway.  We should make a pact to quit.

There is not really any normal flora of the stomach, though a little over half the world's population has H pylori in the stomach.  This does not mean that they all have ulcers, though.  The immune system will attempt to defeat the infection, but it is usually unable to reach the H pylori due to its odd location.  It is possible that some of what causes an ulcer is not the bacteria itself but the body's inflammatory response.

There are two main reasons for mouth ulcers \n1. Vit B Complex Deficiency\n2. Allergic reaction\n\nIf you have a chronic problem of mouth ulcers try taking Vit B capsules. For symptomatic relief use some anesthetic mouth gelly e.g Lignocain gelly.\n\nIf the ulcer in your mouth is due to some irritant e.g spices etc - try to avoid that particular stuff.

Gastric ulcers are usually caused by acid eating away at your stomach lining.  Drugs exists that lower the amount of acid in your stomach. Examples of these drugs are Histamine-2 Receptor Antagonists (Zantac, Pepcid) or Proton Pump Inhibitors (Prilosec, Prevacid, Protonix, Nexium).  Ulcers can also be a side effect of drugs.  The most common drugs that cause this are NSAIDs (Advil, Motrin, Aleve).  Talk to your doctor to see if you are taking any medications that could be contributing to your ulcer.  If you can get rid of an ulcer but it comes back later you may have to stay on acid lowering drugs to prevent them from coming back.\n  \nUlcers can also be caused by bacteria called Heliobacter pylori.  Your doctor can give you antibiotics to kill this.

It is not true that if one ulcer starts bleeding it will set off the other two.  However, while ulcers are usually not life-threatening, in rare cases, they can develop life-threatening complications.  10-20% of patients with ulcers can develop complications including significant bleeding, perforation, or gastric outlet obstruction.  Fortunately, ulcers are very treatable in this day and age.  If you know you have three ulcers lined up next to each other, you must have had an endoscopy.  The specialist will typically take some biopsies to see if you have a common infection that makes people more prone to ulcers.  This infection can be eradicated with certain combinations of antibiotics and acid-suppressing medications.  In addition, it would be wise to avoid medications such as ibuprofen (NSAIDs) which can predispose to ulcers.  I recommend you talk to your doctor about this in greater detail...

there called ulcers and they can be anything from stresss to the food we eat , like really hot and spicy foods, they usually last for a few days and they go by them selves but if there really painfull try over the counter ointments, but the best thing that really dries them fast is salt water, just dissolve some salt in warm water and gargle 3 times a day

Bulimia does cause ulcers because when you are constantly vomitting, the juices in your stomach become acid. Simply because you are removing a lot of the nutrients the body needs. I'm not sure about anorexics loosing more muscle and weight. But yes, Bulimia can cause ulcers. And it takes a while for bulimics to lose the weight because sometimes, they will not vomit everything they ate. Maybe 60-70% of it at a time. The reason anorexics lose more is because they are starving themselves from what the body needs in order to function.

You asked about bleeding ulcers and not ulcers in general so I will address your question.  If the ulcer is gastric (stomach) or duodenal (first portion of the small intestine) you may have "coffee grounds emesis". This is vomiting that looks like coffee grounds due to partially digested blood.  Your stool will be black and tarry due to digested blood. If the ucler is in a section of the large intestine, your stool will have bright, fresh, (undigested) blood.  With any ulcer there is often pain but these are the signs specifically of a bleeding ulcer.

I think this will help you.\n\n\nWhile the word ulcer can refer to any type of sore or lesion that won't heal, in common usage it typically refers to peptic ulcers, very painful lesions that form in the stomach or intestine. For years, even centuries, ulcers were believed to be caused by stress and/or particular kinds of food and were considered a chronic condition. That is, it was thought that you couldn't 'cure' ulcers, you just had to manage them with antacids, diet - eating only bland food, for example - and lowering your stress levels. The classical stereotype of the overworked Type-A manager would depict him getting off the phone and reaching for antacids as he clutched his midsection. "Oh, my ulcer," he would moan, an indication that the phone call had just contributed to his stress.\n\nBecause the stomach is a highly acidic environment, it was thought that bacteria simply couldn't live there for long. However, in 1982, Robin Warren, an Australian pathologist, proved that patients with chronic ulcers also had colonies of bacteria inhabiting their stomach. Barry Marshall, of the University of Western Australia, took this finding and, working with Warren, located and identified the bacterium in question, which they named Helicobacter pylori.\n\nTheir findings were so contradictory to prevailing conventional wisdom that their work got very little notice, even though it promised a permanent cure to stomach ulcers. In a dramatic display of the validity of their findings, Dr. Marshall deliberately infected himself with Helicobacter pylori and gave himself ulcers, which were then cured by a round of antibiotic treatment. Still, it took the next two decades to overthrow long-held beliefs on the treatment of ulcers, and you will find many laymen today who believe that ulcers are chronic and incurable. In October 2005, Warren and Marshall were awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine, in recognition for their groundbreaking work in the treatment of stomach ulcers.

Zanax is very addictive. Yes ulcers can come from stress. My ulcer became evident after I ate. Got very nauseous. Had to lay off all greasy food. Took meds. It finally healed. Try some web sites about stree and how to combat it. What is stressing you? Can you avoid it? Do you have a chance to relax during the day? We all have a little stress but some are overwhelmed with it. Exercise helps as does a good diet. Prayer and meditation helps. Find something that suits your lifestyle. Good luck.
