Question: What is the prevalence of H. pylori positive in patients with peptic ulcer disease? ALso, please indicate the source. Really really need an answer. Thank you.

Answer: About 80% of ulcers would be due to H. pylori (90% of duodenal ulcers and 605 of gastric). The bacteria causes inflamation of the lineing of the stomach/duedenum so it is no longer aduquatly protected from the acidic contents. It does NOT increase acid secretion. As for the the other 20% most are due to chronic use of NSAIDs. A few (though very rare in western countries) would be due to gastric cancer, and another rare cause is brain injury which can cause hypersecretion of stomach acid.

Question: DO u have for peptic ulcer disease? How do u care for it? I have recently been diagnosed with ulcers. Those who have them or know about them, do you have any useful pointers on how I should care for them?

Answer: Please see the webpages for more details on Peptic ulcer. Certain foods and lifestyle are considered to promote gastroesophageal reflux: Coffee, alcohol, and excessive amounts of Vitamin C supplements are stimulants of gastric acid secretion. Taking these before bedtime especially can promote evening reflux. Calcium containing antacids are in this group[3]. Foods high in fats and smoking reduce lower esophageal sphincter competence, so avoiding these tends to help, as well. Fat also delays emptying of the stomach. Having more but smaller meals also reduces the risk of GERD, as it means there is less food in the stomach at any one time. avoid eating for 2 hours before bedtime avoid soft drinks avoid chocolate and peppermint avoid spicy foods avoid acidic foods like oranges and tomatoes (however, they are okay when fresh.) avoid cruciferous vegetables: onions, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, brussel sprouts milk and milk-based products contain calcium and fat, so should be avoided before bedtime
