It is felt that most ulcers and gastritis are caused by our lifestyle factors such as poor diet, poor dietary habits; too much stress, heavy drinking and smoking. However, the latest medical research has shown that these ailments may be closely associated with Helicobacter Pylori. As the Helicobacter invades the stomach lining, it disrupts the protective mucous layer and allows the corrosive stomach acids to come in direct contact with the delicate tissues below. This can then lead to peptic ulcers and stomach inflammation.
