TextВ PepticUlcer
There have been many bad jokes about ulcers, but the man who 1 one
really considers it not a laughing matter. Ulcer is a common con tion.
What causes ulcers? A peptic ulcer, as the name says, is an erosioi
the lining of the digestive tract as a result of the action of the enzj

Lesson 18 ^ 197
pepsin. An increase in the acid content of the gastric juice starts pepsin
digesting the mucosa. Most of the symptoms are ascribed to the high
degree of acidity of the juice. Not all persons with hyper-acidity must
develop ulcers. The second, commonly recognized factor is emotional
stress. Emotional stress produces conditions especially favourable to ulcer
formation. Peptic ulcer disease can be called a psychosomatic disease; an
actual bodily ailment, produced, or at least aggravated, by the mental and
emotional state.
There are two very distinctive varieties of peptic ulcer - gastric and
duodenal. Although they are found in two different places-the stomach and
the duodenum respectively — they look alike and cause similar distress.
Gastric ulcer is caused by the hormone gastrin, secreted during the gastric
phase of digestion. Distention of the stomach lining causes gastrin to be
secreted from the antrum; gastrin in turn stimulates the gastric glands to
work overtime. Gastric ulcers bleed into the stomach and may actually
perforate the stomach wall.
Duodenal ulcer, found in the first ten inches of the small intestine, is lour
times as common as gastric ulcer. This is the «ulcer of stress» mentioned
earlier, though the psychic factor is also present in other forms. The patient
usually complains of a pain and «heartburn» after meals (within the first hour
in case of gastric ulcer, from three to four hours after meal in duodenal
ulcer). Besides the pain which the patient is often unable to bear, he may
also suffer from frequent vomiting. If the gastric juice shows an abnormal
concentration of HCL, the diagnosis is practically certain.
Since the secretion of gastric juice is excessive in all forms of peptic ulcer,
proper diet should be neccessary for the suppression of secretion. This
means lhat the diet, instead of being appetizing, has to be monotonous, in
order to suppress the appetite juce. Meat and alcohol are to be forbidden.
