Thinking of Avoiding Spicy Foods to Prevent Pepic Ulcers??
If you have been avoiding spicy foods for the sake of preventing Peptic ulcers, well you have a good news here.
Peptic Ulcer is an infection caused by the bacterium Helicobacter Pylori as well as from erosion of stomach acids. They are not caused by stress or spicy foods; however, they can make your symptoms worse. Long term or regular use of aspirin and other painkillers can also lead to the formation of the ulcers.
Stomach acid makes the pain worse, as does having an empty stomach. The pain can be often relived by eating certain foods that buffer stomach acid or by taking an acid reducing medication, but then it may come back. If left untreated, Peptic ulcers can result in Internal bleeding, serious Infection of your Abdominal Cavity (Peritonitis) and Obstruction.
