An estimated one in five Americans suffers from chronic pain and many of these people depend on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) to help manage their pain because their doctor does not approve of or prescribe narcotic pain medications. NSAIDs include both over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications like aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen. While these medications are effective in helping to relieve pain, continuous use may increase the risk of stomach ulcers. According to the American College of Gastroenterology, NSAID use is the second major cause of stomach ulcers, this indicated findrxonline in article. In the US, it is estimated that gastrointestinal complications caused by NSAIDs result in more than 100,000 hospitalizations and 16,500 deaths annually.

Good to see quite a variety of suggestions given, but think that get rid of stress should probably have been put at number 1. There is a product that is starting to be promoted more and more of helping with peptic ulcers and combating Helicobacter Pylori – which is manuka honey. However the reason for mentioning it here is that it is often not stated that it is only some manuka honey which is suitable, being labelled with the UMF® mark. There is plenty of standard manuka honey around with little antibacterial properties. Those interested can see some information here:

However another important factor is the way in which we eat. Better eating habits, mainly eat slower, chew properly, and enjoy your food, and thinking about what you are doing – eating – and not concentrating on the tv or whatever else, will help give your stomach a chance to do its job properly.

Jennifer,
I think you should go see a doctor as you might have a gastric or a duodenum ulcer, not peptic ulcer. The stomach discomfort you have written about can also be found in these two affections. You should go to your doctor and see what he has to say about your stomach. Don’t be afraid, even if you do have gastric ulcer, as you will get healthy after following a proper treatment.

I found it helpful to a point. Other things I have read say that you do not always need to see a doctor for this. I just have this dull kinda burning upper stomach pain right now that has lasted two days. I have taken Tagamet(4) and keep drinking water but it hasn’t really eased up at all.
