What is Peptic Ulcer ?
Peptic ulcer  (be diffirent Ulcerative Colitis) refers to an eroded lesion in the gastric intestinal mucous. An ulcer may form in any part of the digestive tract which is exposed to acid gastric juice, but is usually found in the stomach and the duodenum. The ulcer located in the stomach is known as gastric ulcer and that located in the duodenum is called a duodenal ulcer. Usually both are grouped together and termed peptic ulcer. Ulcers may not always cause any symptoms, but when they do, the most common symptom is a burning pain between the breastbone and navel. Other symptoms include belching, nausea, loss of appetite, loss of weight, and feeling tired and weak.

About one in 10 Americans develop at least one ulcer during their lifetimes. Ulcers affect about 5 million people each year. More than 40,000 people each year have surgery because of persistent symptoms or problems from ulcers. An ulcer is an open sore, or lesion, usually found on the skin or mucous membrane areas of the body.

• An ulcer in the lining of the stomach or duodenum, where hydrochloric acid and pepsin are present, is referred to as a peptic ulcer.

• When the ulcer is in the stomach, it is called a gastric ulcer.

• When the ulcer is in the duodenum, it is called a duodenal ulcer.

The primary cause of stomach ulcers is believed to be a bacteria, called Helicobacter Pylori. This bacteria weakens the mucous coating of the stomach, which protects it from the acids present in the stomach. These acids then start to irritate the stomach, eventually causing an ulcer.

Information on the causes of peptic ulcer disease
Peptic ulcers result from hyperacidity which is a condition caused by an increase in hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This strong acid, secreted by the cells lining the stomach, affects much of the break-down of food. It can be potentially dangerous and, under certain circumstances, it may eat its way through the lining of the stomach or duodenum producing, first, irritation of the stomach wall and eventually an ulcer.

Dietetic indiscretion, like overeating, taking of heavy meals or highly spiced foods, coffee, alcohol and smoking are the main factors contributing to this condition. The ingestion of certain drugs, particularly aspirin, food poisoning, infections like influenza and septicemia and gout may also cause ulcers. Emotional stress or nervous tension also plays a major role in the formation of ulcers. Other factors can make it more likely for you to get an ulcer, including :-

• Drinking alcohol excessively.

• Smoking cigarettes and using tobacco.

• Using aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen.

The symptoms of peptic ulcer
The most common symptoms of peptic ulcer are sharp and severe pain and discomfort in the upper central abdomen. The pain is commonly described as burning or gnawing in character. Gastric ulcer pain usually occurs an hour after meals, but rarely at night. Duodenal ulcer pain usually occurs between meals when the stomach is empty and is relieved by food, especially milk. It is often described as hunger pain and gets the sufferer out of bed between 2 and 4 a.m. As the disease progresses there is distension of the stomach due to excessive flatulence, besides mental tension, insomnia and a gradual weakening of the body. It may also cause constipation with occasional blood in the stools. If an ulcer bleeds slowly, there is anemia. Other possible symptoms of peptic ulcer disease includes :-

• Fatigue

• Nausea

• Chest pain

• Indigestion

• belching

• vomiting

• poor appetite,  loss of weight

• feeling tired and weak

The symptoms of stomach and duodenal ulcers may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.

What are some complications from ulcers?
People with ulcers may experience serious complications if they do not seek appropriate treatment. The most common problems include the following:

• bleeding
  As an ulcer eats into the muscles of the stomach or duodenal wall, blood vessels may also be damaged, causing bleeding.

• perforation
  Sometimes, an ulcer eats a hole in the wall of the stomach or duodenum, and bacteria and partially digested food can spill through the opening into the sterile abdominal cavity (peritoneum) and cause peritonitis, an inflammation of the abdominal cavity and wall.

• narrowing and obstruction
  Ulcers located at the end of the stomach, where the duodenum is attached, can cause swelling and scarring, which can narrow or close the intestinal opening. This obstruction can prevent food from leaving the stomach and entering the small intestine, resulting in vomiting the contents of the stomach.

Peptic ulcer disease, estimated to affect 4.5 million people in the United States, is a chronic inflammation of the stomach and duodenum. Peptic ulcer disease is responsible for substantial human suffering and a large economic burden. Every year 4 million people report missing approximately 6 days from work because of their ulcers. Peptic ulcers result from the breakdown of the lining of the stomach and duodenum. One type of ulcer occurs in the stomach, the other in the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. Duodenal ulcers are much more common than stomach ulcers, which have a greater risk of malignancy. In 1982, a bacterium, Helicobacter pylori, as isolated from gastric biopsies of patients with chronic gastritis, which is now believed to be the major cause of peptic ulcer disease. H. pylori is found in almost 100 percent of patients with duodenal ulcers and in 80 percent of patients with gastric ulcers.

Digestive diseases cost nearly $107 billion in direct health care expenditures in 1992. Digestive diseases result in nearly 200 million sick days, 59 million visits to physicians. 16.9 million days lost from school, 10 million hospitalizations, and nearly 200,000 deaths per year.

Natural home remedies for the treatment of peptic ulcer

• Banana :- Banana is one of the most effective home remedies for the treatment of a peptic ulcer. This fruit is said to contain an unidentified compound, perhaps jokingly called vitamin U (against ulcers). Banana neutralizes the over acidity of the gastric juices and reduces the irritation of the ulcer by coating the lining of the stomach. Patients who are in an advanced state of the disease should take a diet consisting only of two bananas with a glass of milk, three or four times a day.

• Wood Apple :- An infusion of the leaves of wood apple is another effective remedy for this disease. Fifteen grams of leaves should be soaked overnight in 250 ml of water. In the morning this water should be strained and taken as a drink. The pain and discomfort will be relieved when this treatment is continued for a few weeks. Bael leaves are rich in tannins which reduce inflammation and help in the healing of ulcers. The bael fruit taken in the form of a beverage also has great healing properties on account of its mucilage content. This substance forms a coating on the stomach mucous and thus helps in the healing of ulcers.

• Lime :- Lime is valuable in peptic ulcers. The citric acid in this fruit, together with the mineral salts present in the juice, help indigestion.

• Cabbage :- Cabbage is regarded as another useful home remedy for a peptic ulcer: 250 gm should be boiled in 500 ml of water till it is reduced to half; this water should be allowed to cool, and taken twice daily. The juice extracted from raw cabbage is also a valuable medicine for a peptic ulcer. However, as this juice is very strong, it should be taken in combination with carrot juice, in quantities of 125 ml each.

• Fenugreek Seeds :- A tea made from fenugreek seeds is yet another useful remedy for peptic ulcers. The seeds, when moistened with water, are slightly mucilaginous. The tea helps in the healing of ulcers as the mild coating of mucilaginous material deposited by fenugreek, passes through the stomach and intestines, providing protective shell for the ulcers.

• Drumstick :- The leaves of the kalyana murangal tree, which is a variety of drumstick found in South India, have also proved helpful in the healing of ulcers. Ten grams of the leaves of this tree should be ground into a paste, mixed with half a cup of yoghurt, and taken daily.

• Vegetable Juices :- The juices of raw vegetables, particularly carrot and cabbage, are beneficial in the treatment of peptic ulcers. Carrot juice may be taken either alone or in combination with spinach, or beet and cucumber. The formula proportions in case of the first combination are 300 ml of carrot juice and 200 ml of spinach juice; and in case of the second combination, 300 ml of carrot juice and 100 ml each of beet and cucumber juice to make 500 ml of juice.

• Almond Milk :- Milk prepared from blanched almonds in a blender is very useful as a treatment for peptic ulcers. It binds the excess of acid in the stomach and supplies high quality protein.

• Goat's Milk :- Goat's milk is also highly beneficial in the treatment of this disease. It actually helps to heal peptic ulcers. For better results, a glass of goat's milk should be taken in a raw state, three times daily.

Natural Treatment for Peptic ulcer:
Research has shown that Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides have a remarkable ability to normalize all of these damaging processes, which has the effect of enhancing the immune system function through improved digestion. Aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides act as a potent anti-inflammatory agent, stopping the damage and leakage of the intestinal wall, thereby taking the stress off the immune system.

Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides have direct anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-yeast and anti-parasite effects. Chronic yeast growth can be controlled so the normal, healthy flora can then thrive more easily. Furthermore, the macrophages, monocytes, antibodies and T-cells are stimulated. Phagocytosis (when large white blood cells engulf particles) is dramatically increased to ingest foreign proteins. Aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides increases the number and intensity of all immune cells in the body.

Conclusion; The key to integrating healthy digestion with a healthy immune system is the oral ingestion of Aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides (A.M.P.).
