Ulcers can be caused by two things, stress or h pylorie virus. The virus can be treated but can continue to come back. The stress ulcers go away on their own when the stress is eased. I had a stress ulcer when I was having husband problems. It went away when things got somewhat better. Now I got rid of him and darn ulcer will not be sticking its nasty nose up at me again...I hope.

In addition to the previous answers, anti-inflammatory type medicines can cause ulcers as well. Dawn Vickers, RN, BLC, CLC
