Every time we eat our stomach produces a certain quantity of acid for digesting the food.

This acid is powerful enough to harm the inner layer of the stomach, but thanks to the mucus that surrounds the stomach and duodenum this thing does not normally happen.

Peptic ulcers also occur when a bacteria called helicobacter pylori starts to develop inside the stomach and allows the acid to harm the inner layer of the stomach or duodenum.

1. Take an antacid.

During ulcerous crises, taking an antacid can ease pain fast and efficiently. It is best to ask your doctor fist what type of antacid would suit your case best as some of these drugs can cause constipation (if they have in composition aluminum) and others might cause diarrhea (if they contain magnesium).
