Ulcers
By Djehuty Ma'at-Ra

What is an ulcer? Basically, an ulcer is an external or internal sore or lesion that is a sign of necrosis (death of the tissues at a cellular level). Most ulcers that plague people are called “gastric” ulcers which are internal in nature. However, there are several kinds of ulcers and they include: decubitus ulcer, peptic ulcer, serpent ulcer, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcers, ulcerative colitis, bed sore, and canker sore (herpes).

Internal ulcers usually occur on the mucous membranes (the internal skin) in the gastrointestinal tract.

Peptic ulcers occur where the lining of the stomach have been eroded away due to extreme acidosis. Like peptic ulcers, duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and ulcerative colitis occur in the digestive tract or gastrointestinal tract. However, gastric ulcers in the stomach are the most common ulcers.

Are Stomach Ulcers Serious?
By Charles Kassotis

Does your stomach hurt frequently? Does the pain ever wake you up at night? Do you vomit undigested food or blood? If you can answer “yes” to these questions or have experienced other symptoms associated with stomach discomfort, you may have stomach ulcers. These can be caused by many things, such as taking anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofin or aspirin, among others. Ulcers occasionally develop from eating highly spicy food or excessive caffeine or alcohol intake.

The ulcerous condition, which is one or more slow-healing sores, are often caused by H-pylon bacteria. Your doctor can determine if this is the source of your problem by conducting diagnostic tests that may include blood work and endoscopy, which is a tubal exploration of your stomach lining and esophagus.

The Real Solution for Ulcers
By Dr Joseph Mercola

The 2005 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine has been awarded to Australians Barry J. Marshall and Robin Warren, for showing that stomach and intestinal ulcersare caused by bacterial infection rather than stress.

Their discovery, made in 1982, changed peptic ulcer from a chronic and disabling condition to an easily treatable one.

They established that the bacterium Helicobacter pylori is the most common cause of ulcers, an assertionthat went against the prevailing thought in the medical community at the time. Their discovery began a large-scale reassessment of the causes of other chronic inflammatory diseases, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and atherosclerosis.

Combating Canker Sores (Mouth Ulcers) Naturally
By Stewart Hare

Canker Sores (mouth ulcers) are painful ulcerations within the mouth; they can appear in a group or on their own. They are linked to stress, hypersensitivity to the common mouth bacterium – haemolytic streptococcus, inflammatory bowel disease, the herpes simplex virus, coeliac disease and immune problems. The appearance of canker sores (mouth ulcers) is a slight raised yellowish border with a red area surrounding it with sometimes an opaque yellowish film covering it.

Canker Sores (mouth ulcers) have been linked to a dietary sensitivity to gluten in some people; gluten is the protein in wheat and other grains. If you suffer from canker sores (mouth ulcers) regularly it may be well worth experimenting with a gluten free diet whether you suffer from coeliac disease or not.

I Am Mouth Ulcers
By Ryan Fyfe

Although it's not my favorite thing to be in the world, I am a mouth ulcer. My street name is most commonly: canker sore. I've got a fancy name, and that involves painful open sores that will exist in your mouth when the mucous membrane breaks. You might also choose to call me one of these other names: aphthous stomatitis or aphthous ulcer. Now that we have that out of the way...

I will often being with a tingling or burning sensation in your mouth. This 'tingling' or 'burning' will exist in the place where the future mouth ulcer, canker sore, aphthous stomatitis or aphthous ulcer will exist. It won't take me longer than a few days to turn into the state of a red bump or spot inside your mouth, which will then be followed by an open ulcer.
