Stomach ulcers are increasingly becoming popular in the world today. Statistics show that nearly 50% of the world’s population has a history in this. This article answers the question; what causes stomach ulcers? What are stomach ulcers? What are the symptoms of stomach ulcers? And finally, how do we treat stomach ulcers?
What are stomach ulcers?
These are painful sores (ulcers) that occur in the stomach lining. They lie under the peptic ulcers disease. Peptic ulcers are sores that affect either the gut or small intestine where protein (peptides) digestion takes place. The ulcers or sores are formed due to the prevention of the mucus lining layer from protecting the stomach wall from corrosive acids and protein-digesting enzymes. The sores on severity turn into wounds and may predispose to stomach cancer if not controlled.
What causes stomach ulcers?
There are two major causative agents of stomach ulcers namely:
- Helicobacter Pylori (H.Pylori) bacteria. One can come into contact with the bacteria due to taking contaminated food or water.
- Prolonged use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, aspirin, diclofenac, and naproxen.
It is said that stress causes stomach ulcers this is not true. What stress causes is the severity of the ulcers. Stress reduces gut motility hence reducing appetite. When you lack appetite your stomach goes empty causing hydrochloric acid to damage your stomach walls. if you were fond of stress relax your mind and ensure to eat well. Staying hungry or skipping meals could be a predisposing factor in the reoccurrence of the bacteria. Your stomach wound needs to heal by regular diet.
Symptoms of ulcers
- Bloat or stomach fullness
- Diarrhea
- Heartburn
- Loss of appetite
- Tarry or dark stools
- Indigestion
- Abdominal pain or stomach pain
Treatment of ulcers and prevention of reoccurrence
More than 70% of the people previously diagnosed with ulcers end up positive when retested. If you test their blood samples every one of them would turn positive, so medics test their stool to know the severity. Without proper treatment peptic or duodenal ulcers is likely to occur or even become severe.
Proper medical treatment
It is noted that some people who have the symptoms depicted above fail to visit hospitals to know their actual problem with the testing. Instead, they run to buy over-the-counter drugs like metronidazole commonly known as Flagyl to calm their situation. But for ulcers, H. Pylori to be overcome Flagyl alone won’t assist though it is an antibiotic that treats several conditions like UTI, ulcers, STI, respiratory disorders, extra. consider taking the following drugs.
1. 14-day drug therapy
Omeprazole B.P 20mg
Ammoxylin but on an overdose of 2×2 of 500mg per tablet
Metronidazole (Flagyl) 2×2
Anti-gel
The above combination is normally prescribed by the doctor to combat H. pylori bacteria and prevent reoccurrence.
2. Omeprazole
This can be taken routinely but do not exceed three months non-stop consult your doctor to re-examine your condition and to advise accordingly. omeprazole contains B.P 20mg and should be taken twice a day in the dosage of 1×2. Unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
3. Tinidazole
It is not commonly used but it is also very useful to combat H.Pylori bacteria. It is known to be efficient for duodenal ulcers.it is also an antibiotic with broad-spectrum on UTI, STI, amoeba, and anaerobic infections. Tinidazole table has 500mg. It is taken as four tablets once per day for three days.
4. H.pylori combat Kit
This is advised by the doctor depending on the severity of the case. Though this kit is quite expensive it proves to be the best to combat and destroy H.Pylori. I can attest to this it is curative on H.pylori.
The kit contains:
2 clarithromycin tablets BP 1000mg
2 ammoxylin tablet BP 500mg
2 Esomeprazole tablets BP 20mg
The combination pharmacology of the above drug proves to excellently eliminate and destroy H.pylori.
What foods to take
You are advised to avoid too many acidic foods like sukuma wiki and beans. But to my opinion, since I am a victim of ulcers would advise that because it is not the food that causes ulcers but only increases severity, you can eat properly cooked food but be on medication; with time the bacteria will vanish, and eating will revert to normal.
