Primary causative factors include Helicobacter pylori infection and the chronic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Ulcerative disease the symptoms
About 75% of stomach ulcers are caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. strains of bacteria produce various factors that cause inflammation of the stomach, resulting in ulcers. Treatment caused by bacteria uses antibiotics, drugs that inhibit gastric secretion, and lining the gastric lining. The disease can also cause long-term stress, alcoholism, substance abuse, misdiagnosis, and family predisposition.
Nutritional recommendations an example menu
Dietary therapy for gastric ulcers centers on an easily digestible, non-irritating meal plan. Frequent small meals (5–6 times daily) prevent excessive gastric acid accumulation and soothe mucosal erosion. Beneficial foods include steamed skinless chicken, poached cod, mashed potatoes, well-cooked squash, oatmeal porridge, and flaxseed mucilage. Conversely, strong spices, fried crusts, acidic citrus fruits, carbonated beverages, caffeine, and alcohol must be strictly eliminated to allow complete ulcer re-epithelialization.
