What are the causes of having a simple ulcer in the terminal ileum? so far i have read that h. pylori can cause this. anything else?

Not H. pylori: This bacteria causes ulcers in the stomach and duodenum. An ulcer in the terminal ileum can be either crohn's disease or medication-induced (like Aspirin and nsaids), .
