Treatable...: Stomach ulcers are usually caused by either taking anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. Motrin, ibuprofen, naprosyn (naproxen) or aspirin) or bacterial infection with helicobacter pylori. Treatment of the ulcer includes removal or eradication of the offending agent (e.g. Drugs or infection) and acid suppressive therapy with drugs like Omeprazole (prilosec). Benign peptic ulcers usually heal within weeks.
