A member asked:
Ulcers: does moderate spicy sauces and snacks usually result in ulcers among the general population?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: This does not even happen among special populations. Stomach ulcers in the main are caused by infection with Helicobacter Pylori or by use of non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs. There are several other causes but they are not as common as those above. Spicy foods may make you feel like you have an ulcer, but they do not cause them.
