5 Easy Home Remedies For Gastric Ulcers

5 Home Remedies For Gastric Ulcers



Gastric ulcers are caused by an infection. The H. pylori bacteria infect the upper part of the intestine and inflame it. They burrow into the protective lining and cause ulcers. The stomach makes acid to digest the food. From the stomach, the food passes into the duodenum. There it mixes with enzymes produced by the pancreas and the cell lining of the intestine. The enzymes further break down the food and the nutrients are absorbed by the body.

The H. pylori bacteria are present in small amounts in the lining of stomach and the intestines but they are not offensive. It is only when they increase in large numbers and multiply rapidly, they cause infection. A weak immune system is unable to handle the sudden spurt in growth and the bacteria become dangerous and inflame the lining of the stomach and the duodenum. This results in the disruption of the defense barrier of the mucus. The stomach acid penetrates the breaks in the lining and causes gastric ulcers.
