Cause unknown: It could be a virus or associated with different disorders such as anemia, vitamin deficiency celiac disease, inflammatory vowel disease among others. Most people have a trigger for the ulcers such as trauma, spicy or acidic foods, stress or hormonal changes. If you can identify your trigger, you can decrease the number of episodes.
