'Helicobacter pylori Is The Microorganism That Causes Your Peptic Ulcer'-Ade Adeola Solomon

 Posted by Divine Mercy

Peptic Ulcer is caused by Microorganism called Helicobacter pylori. Don't be ashamed you have ulcer disease. It's a disease because it can kill. 

This Peptic Ulcer disease mostly occurs in children. Only 20% of those infected have symptoms. Symptoms include dull or burning stomach pain, unplanned weight loss and bloody vomit. H-pylori-caused ulcers are commonly treated with combinations of antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors. And can be prevented or reduced with Antacids. 

Don't be confused. Antacids like Mist Magnesium Trisilicate, Aluminum salt, Gestids, etc can't treat ulcer. They can only prevent or reduced burning sensation experienced in the stomach when you have gastric ulcer. 

Though some don't know the difference between gastric ulcer disease and Duodenal ulcer disease. These two diseases are the two major type of Peptic Ulcer. A medical Practitioner who doesn't know which one you're struggling with will just tell you that you have Peptic Ulcer disease. 

Know it today, it's either gastric or duodenal ulcer disease.

When you have gastric Ulcer disease, it's possible you experience symptoms like epigastric pains, or burning sensation in the chest, dull pain in the stomach, weight loss, nausea, feeling easily full, bloating, reduced appetite, anaemia, dark stool etc

When you have duodenal ulcer, you will be feeling sick, retching and bloating. Fatigue, blood in the stool are also symptoms.

Do you that a person can have one or both types of ulcers at the same time? Having both types is known as gastroduodenal ulcer. 

Below are the ways to prevent ulcer generally:

- Drink clean water and use clean water during food preparation. This will prevent you from getting botulism (food poisoning)

- Wash your hand thoroughly before eating and after using the toilet.

For you to know that you don't have Peptic Ulcer disease again, your health Practitioner needs to test you again on breath test or stool test and must ask you questions about how you feel since you started your drugs.

Ulcer disease has killed many. Take your health serious. 

Some other underlying factors promoting Helicobacter pylori are: 

- Fasting

-Taking Analgesics (like Paracetamol, diclofenac, Tramadol etc) on empty stomach

- Taking acidic food/drink or unripe fruit

- Too much of Alcohol

- Smoking with/ without eating

If you want to live long, you start living right. It's no more a news that ignorance makes ulcer to kill people. I say it again, don't have ulcer and be dependent only on Antacids. The reason why it's called Antacids is Because its acts against acid Because stomach wall/lining is acidic. Anti-Acid! That's just it. It can't cure ulcer. It can only reduce the burning sensation. 

Please know that your health is your wealth!!
