are there any other treatment options for peptic ulcer disease?

Question

Which treatment works the best and fastest for peptic ulcer?

Answer 1

Other than what?: The mainstay of ulcer treatment for the past 2 decades had been acid suppression with proton pump inhibitors such as prilosec, prevacid, nexium, dexilant, (dexlansoprazole) aciphex, protonix, etc. For refractory bleeding ulcers or perforated ulcers, surgery may me necessary. This has become much less common since Prilosec was released.

Answer 2

Please see: Please see your gastroenterologist for evaluation and to discuss treatment options. This way you can get the correct answer.

Answer 3

No: Usually the seasonal influenza refers to respiratory infection or lung infection while stomach flu refers to virus that specializes in the gastrointestinal tract that usually leads to diarrhea or nausea or vomiting.

Answer 4

No: Seasonal influenza is a highly contagious respiratory illness characterized by fever, body aches, cough as the primary symptoms. Stomach flu, sometimes known as gastroenteritis, is diarrhea and vomiting. The flu shot will not protect you from stomach flu, but will reduce the liklihood of you catching influenza or reduce its severity. Great question! this is a common misconception.

Answer 5

Yes: Wear shoes when out doors and avoid bare feet if you get this infection only medical treatment will help.

Answer 6

Cover up: Avoid direct contact with others especially if they have any open skin areas.

Answer 7

Situational symptoms: When your symptoms are so situational (distress occurs when you are in a particular place or circumstance but rarely occur other times) then stress must be entertained as a possibility (like fear of heights, ladders, flying, etc.) phobias are readily treatable, once you've ruled out medical problems that can prompt identical symptoms. See your doctor as to how to go about addressing this issue.

Answer 8

Have it checked out: Food will normally help buffer the acid that is in our stomach . At night we do not have anything to buffer the acid although we do not make as much acid while sleeping. Waking in the morning with nausea or discomfort may be a sign of gastritis or maybe even an ulcer. I would see your dr.There are other causes as well that should be evaluated.

Answer 9

Can be: Always better to be safe than sorry, so get in with your obgyn and get checked. Vast likelihood is that you are fine. Good luck!
