A member asked:
If stomach ulcer/gastritis is caused by use of nsaid. can it heal itself without the help of a proton pump inhibitor if nsaid is stopped completely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, certainly: aspirin like drugs cause ulcers. The ulcers might heal without th euse of medications but they prevent the stomach from making acid and speed healing and prevent further troubles.

Do selective cox2 inhibitor nsaids completely eliminate the risk of ulcer/gastritis? OR it only reduces it by a certain percentage. Should a person with sensitive stomach still take a ppi along with selective cox2 for protection?
Is ppi superior than H2 blocker to heal nsaid induced gastritis/ulcer if taken symptomatically(only when pain in stomach). I did not take it everyday.
Are cox 2 inhibitors completely free from side effect of gastritis/ulcer?Or they only reduce the risk? why doctors still prescribe plain nsaids like diclofenac,advil if selective cox-2 are so great? should a sensitive person take ppi along with cox 2?
Had endoscopy today. It's a gastric ulcer w/antral gastritis and duodenitis! wondering what else might be inflamed & how to correct w/o nsaids?
In order to protect the stomach while talking nsaids like naproxen, diclofenac or the selective cox2 inhibitors like celecoxib, meloxicam. The proton pump inhibitor should be taken once a day or twice a day?
