		An ulcer in the lining of the stomach or duodenum, where hydrochloric acid and pepsin are present, is referred to as a peptic ulcer.
		Ulcers located at the end of the stomach, where the duodenum is attached, can cause swelling and scarring, which can narrow or close the intestinal opening.
		These ulcers are referred to as peptic ulcers: gastric ulcers in the stomach and duodenal ulcers in the duodenum.

	Stomach ulcer: symptoms, cause, treatment, prevention, complications, risks, long-term outlook
		A stomach ulcer (also called a peptic ulcer) is a small erosion (hole) in the gastrointestinal tract.
		The direct cause of peptic ulcers is the destruction of the gastric or intestinal mucosal lining of the stomach by hydrochloric acid, an acid normally present in the digestive juices of the stomach.
		However, stomach ulcers can cause hemorrhages from the erosion of a major blood vessel; a tear in the wall of the stomach or intestine, with resultant peritonitis; or obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract because of spasm or swelling in the area of the ulcer.

		Ulcer penetration is a complication in which the ulcer erodes through the intestinal wall without digestive fluid leaking into the abdomen.
		The drugs that are currently used to protect the stomach tissues are sucralfate (Carafate), which forms a pastelike substance that clings to the mucous tissues and prevents further damage from stomach acid; and bismuth preparations.

	Stomach Ulcers
		The most common ulcer symptom is a gnawing or burning pain in the abdomen between the breastbone and the naval.
		As an ulcer eats into the muscles of the stomach or duodenal wall, blood vessels may also be damaged, which causes bleeding.
		Most bleeding ulcers can be treated endoscopically_the ulcer is located and the blood vessel is cauterized with a heating device or injected with material to stop bleeding.

	Stomach Ulcers
		Stomach ulcers are caused by the gastrointestinal tract being eroded by acidic stomach digestive juices.
		While Stomach Ulcers are not considered as being contagious or even cancerous, there is a possibility that the ulcer can become malignant.
		Now while having a stomach ulcer can be a problem due to the pain that you may experience, the ulcer itself may be the indications of another disease or medical condition.

	Ulcers
		Peptic ulcers are ulcers that form in the stomach or the upper part of the small intestine, called the duodenum (pronounced: doo-uh-dee-num).
		Ulcers caused by H. pylori bacteria are generally treated with a combination of medications; usually two to three medicines are taken every day for a few weeks.
		The best advice in ulcer prevention is to always wash your hands after you use the bathroom and before you eat and to take good care of your body by exercising regularly and not smoking or drinking.

	BBC - Health - Conditions - Peptic ulcers
		Removing large chunks of the digestive tract used to be the only way to end the pain of chronic stomach ulcers and avoid the risk of a potentially life-threatening haemorrhage.
		Ulcers of the stomach (gastric ulcers) and the duodenum (the first part of the intestines after the stomach) are together known as peptic ulcers.
		Other factors that increase the risk of an ulcer include a family history of ulcers and being blood group O. It used to be thought that high levels of stress could cause ulcers, but many doctors now think emotional stress simply accentuates the pain of an existing ulcer and may interfere with healing.

		This bacterium is the culprit in nearly 80% of stomach ulcers and in more than 90% of ulcers in the duodenum, the first portion of the small intestine.
		When the upper region of the stomach is also infected with H. pylori, the resulting inflammation sets the stage for stomach cancer or a specific type of stomach lymphoma.
		While ulcers are most often related to H. pylori infection or use of NSAIDs, GERD is caused by the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to close properly.

	Gastric Stomach Ulcers in Horses
		To understand why horses of all kinds develop ulcers, it's helpful to first define just what an ulcer is. In horses, as well as in people, it's a wound in the lining of the stomach caused by acid.
		As a result, the amount of acid that accumulates in a horse's stomach declines when he's eating and increases when he's not - sometimes to a potentially injurious level - which indicates how important grazing may be to a horse's well-being.
		Consider, too, the results of one study that Murray conducted: He examined the stomach linings of horses who had been living their lives as nature intended - turned out to pasture and allowed to graze round-the-clock - and found that most were normal.

	Understanding Ulcers -- Basic Information
		Peptic ulcers are holes or breaks in the protective lining of the duodenum (the upper part of the small intestine) or the stomach - areas that come into contact with stomach acids and enzymes.
		Until the mid-1980s, the conventional wisdom was that ulcers form as a result of stress, a genetic predisposition to excessive stomach acid secretion, and poor consumption habits (including overindulging in rich and fatty foods, alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco).
		While excessive stomach acid secretion certainly plays a role in the development of ulcers, a relatively recent theory holds that bacterial infection is the primary cause of peptic ulcers.

		Exposing the lining of the stomach to foods to which a person is allergic has been reported to cause bleeding in the stomach.

	Helicobacter and stomach ulcers

		Now almost every reasonable physician agrees that all people who have belching and burning in the stomach and a positive blood test for helicobacter pylori can be cured with antibiotics, but many gastroenterologists stubbornly refuse to treat patients with ulcer symptoms and a negative blood test or biopsy for that germ.
		The endoscopic characteristics of inflammation in the stomach, in contrast to those of the esophagus and colon, are inconspicuous or lacking, ''Endoscopic gastritis'' does not correlate sufficiently with ''histologic gastritis'' and the term ''gastritis'' is to be limited to cases confirmed histologically.
