Spicy Food and Stress Cause Peptic Ulcers

Spicy food and stress cause peptic ulcers.

Peptic ulcers are sores in the lining of the stomach duodenum. Almost all peptic ulcers are caused either by infections with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) or by use of pain medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen, the so-called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs, Most H.pylori-related ulcers can be cured with antibiotics. NSAID-induced ulcers can be cured with time, stomach-protective medications, antacids, and avoidance of NSAIDs. Spicy food and stress may aggravate ulcer symptoms in some people, but they do not cause peptic ulcers. –Rosario Ricalde
