Peptic ulcers develop in the areas where digestion takes place. If the ulcer is located in the stomach, it is called a gastric ulcer; if it is in the duodenal region, which comes after the stomach it is called a duodenal ulcer. It is estimated that at least half a million people in the U.S.A. alone have ulcers. When an ulcer penetrates through the stomach or the duodenum, it is called a perforated ulcer. This is very serious condition. Ulcers sometimes but very rarely develop into cancer. In this case, the cure depends on they detection and surgical treatment. Food should be non-irritating, bland and with few spices. The best cure is change in the pattern of life. There should be no physical strain or emotional problems. Surgery nowadays is very seldom resorted to in ulcer cases. One way of neutralizing the effect of the excess acid which causes ulcers is to ensure that something is eaten, say, every two hours. Even a biscuit or two is sufficient. If the ulcer cure regime is properly followed, you can get completely cured and lead a vigorous and useful life.
