Peptic ulcers are the ulcers or sores in the stomach lining or the first part of the intestine called duodenum. It is a painful situation for the suffer. A peptic ulcer, also known as PUD or peptic ulcer disease is the most common ulcer of the gastrointestinal  tract that  is  usually  acidic.  It  happens  when  the  acids  that  aid  in digestion  of  food,  damage/eroded  the walls  of  the  stomach  or  duodenum.  The  erosion is caused  by  the increase  activity  of  acid-pepsin  and  by  decreased  resistance  of  the  gastric mucosa. The most common cause is infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori.Not all who have a ulcer are infected with H pylori.  Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can  cause  ulcers if  taken  regularly. Stress  (physical  or emotional), Alcohol,  Caffeine, and Cigarette smoking can also cause ulcers.

The burning pain is present usually in  the upper middle part of  the abdomen, above  the belly button and below the breastbone and often comes several hours after a meal when the stomach is empty getting worse at night and early morning. The medical management will include medications, lifestyle changes, diet modification and  surgical intervention in extreme cases.

Don't  smoke,  and  avoid  coffee  and  alcohol  as  these  increase  gastric  acid  production promoting ulcer formation in GI tract especially duodenum.
