[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 568599, member: 3419"] Hmm. This is interesting: Stress does not cause or worsen a gastric ulcer. The top causes are genetics, H. pylori, and long-term use of NSAIDs. husband's dad had ulcers, and husband has had them twice before. ***** CausesNon-cancerous (benign) gastric ulcers are caused by an imbalance between stomach acid, an enzyme called pepsin, and the natural defenses of the stomach''s lining. This imbalance leads to inflammation, which can be made worse by aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen. Risk factors for benign gastric ulcers include: [LIST] [*]Use of aspirin and NSAIDs [*][I]Helicobacter pylori[/I] ([I]H. pylori[/I]) infection [*]Chronic gastritis [*]Smoking [*]Increasing age [*]Mechanical ventilation (being put on a breathing machine) [*]Certain blood clotting problems [/LIST] Stress does not cause or worsen gastric ulcers.
