Re: Home remedies.
 

When the link between H. pylori and ulcers got popularized in the mainstream press, I read that it was now considered the cause of ulcers -- outside of something like swallowing acid I guess. Is that correct?

Definitely researching this now.

Seems that this virus is responsible for peptic ulcer, but only effects about 1/3 of the people that have it.


Too much pain-killers.

Nonprescription NSAIDs include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Aleve) and ketoprofen (Orudis KT).

I guess acetamanophin (tylenol) isn't included here.

H. pylori is a bacteria, not a virus. It is the cause of many (but not all) ulcers.

Tylenol is not a cause of ulcers, but pretty much all other non-narcotic pain killers are, including aspirin.
