What Is a Peptic Ulcer?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. Food and Stress
It is not always clear exactly what has caused a peptic ulcer. It is thought by some that high levels of stress might be the cause in some cases, but this has not been proven to be true. Regardless, it is known that stress is bad for us in a number of ways, so it should be addressed as quickly as possible.
It is also thought that eating certain types of food can also be a cause of peptic ulcers in some cases but, again, this has not been confirmed. If there are foods that make you ill in some other way, then it is best to try and avoid them where you can. There are still usually plenty of other types left which means you get to enjoy lunchtimes safely.
