Peptic Ulcer
These can occur on the inside of the stomach lining or the upper section of the intestine. They can be caused by the continuous use of certain painkillers, such as aspirin, or a bacterial infection.
Burning stomach pain in the upper left side of the abdomen or bloating, burping, tolerance of fatty foods, heartburn and nausea are symptoms of peptic ulcers. Treatment is dependent on the cause but will usually involve eradicating the H. pylori bacterium if present.6‘Peptic Ulcer.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 6 Aug. 2020, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/peptic-ulcer/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20354229
