Stomach Alcer: Causes and Home Remedies

Some 20 million Americans suffer from stomach ulcers. In addition to causing severe stomach pain, ulcers may also puncture of the stomach wall and hence bleeding.

Contrary to conventional belief that ulcers are caused by stress or spicy foods. Rather it is caused due to the stomach infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. This bacterium is the main cause of nearly 80 percent of stomach ulcers and more than 90 percent of duodenum (first portion of the small intestine) ulcers.

Widespread use of pain relievers known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs cause most of the remaining ulcers. A thick coating of gelatinous mucus is produced by the cells in stomach lining which require a type of chemicals called prostaglandin. Acids in the digestive juices is kept away by this mucosal lining and thus causing burning of stomach wall and preventing harmful bacteria from entering the bloodstream or lymphatic system.

Production of prostaglandins is blocked by NSAIDs to relieve the pain and inflammation. But NSAIDs also cause ulcer by leaving the stomach lining susceptible to ulceration.


Now consumers in the United States can access an effective, natural approach to restoring stomach health. Approved in Japan as a drug to treat ulcers, a novel zinc-carnosine compound has been found to strengthen the mucosal barrier, coat the stomach, and inhibit both the growth and damaging effects of H. pylori. These benefits of zinc-carnosine are enhanced by cranberry and licorice, two natural agents that also support gastric health while diminishing the effects of H. pylori.
