Do you suffer from stomach ulcers?

Stomach ulcers are painful sores that can be found in the lining of the stomach or small intestine. They occur when the thick layer of mucus that protects the stomach from digestive juices is reduced (thinned), thus allowing digestive acids to "consume" gastric mucosal tissue.

Gastric or peptic ulcers are easy to treat, but can develop into a serious condition if left untreated.

The most common symptoms include:

• General stomach pain.
• Weight loss.
• Loss of appetite due to pain.
• Vomiting.
• Gastroesophageal reflux.
• Heartburn (burning sensation in the chest).
• Pain that worsens when you eat or drink.

Treatment varies depending on the cause of the ulcer. Most ulcers can be treated with a doctor's prescription, but in rare cases, surgery may be required.
