I almost died at 17 after having multiple ulcers since the age of 11. Many doctors I saw did not believe that I had ulcers, they thought it was caused by emotions. It wasnt until after they did scopes that they realized I was not just "emotional".
11 to 17 is pretty young to be having multiple ulcers. I can't blame them *too* much since you weren't in the usual target demographic for such a condition. It's similar to what happened to me when I was teenager: I had gallstones. Doctors were convinced I was having appendicitis, but one nurse suggested gallstones due to the fact I kept pointing to a certain area on my abdomen on where my pain was. It turned out she was right, so I avoided an unnecessary surgery. The Doctors explained the reason they were hesitant to even suggest it was because of my age. Most cases happen in your middle ages, not your teenage years.
@@girl1213 I’ve suffered from ulcers since I was 7 and have been given short treatments of omeprazole but they kept recurring. I’m 17 now and undergoing a full treatment course.
WarioGiant Spicy food doesn’t cause ulcers. However, if you have ulcers in your G.I. tract, spicy food can irritate those ulcers. This causes pain and discomfort. Do you understand the difference?
Are you all saying spicy foods can't develop gastritis as well? Because you can get ulcers from gastritis... And I have gastritis with no h. Pylori so then wtf if it's not stress, smoking or food
Moses K Your gastritis could be caused by something else. Gastritis = inflammation or infection in the stomach/G.I. tract. Other causes of gastritis include adverse effects of certain medications, drinking alcohol, smoking weed (especially synthetic marijuana), also other health ailments/diseases. Diabetes is a big culprit. How is your blood sugar?
I dunno about ulcer, but the worst stomach pains I’ve experimented were when I was also experiencing psychological stress. It can’t be just a coincidence.
I think the video explained the bacteria "Helicobacter pylori" is the culprit. It didn't say "stress isn't another cause". 50% people were infected by the bacteria but only a portion of people got stomach ulcers.
I took these antibiotics for my stomach ulcer. A two week course fixed what had been months of crippling pain. My fault for not seeing about it earlier. Either way the work done by these guys deserve the highest praise. I can only imagine the millions of lives made better for it. Well done!!!!!
I remember my late grandfather who died in the 90s, the poor man suffered from chronic ulcers. I remember asking what caused them, and family members would say ‘we don’t know, doctors say anything can cause uclers, like too much acid, but there’s no cure and no known cause’. I’m so glad we finally found the culprit!
I think the fact that you blindly trust a TED talk video over your doctor probably says a lot more about you (and likely most of our country) than it does about your doctor's education. While some stomach ulcers are caused by H. pylori (the bacteria), most are in fact caused by our diet (food, coffee, alcohol) and worsened with obesity, eating large meals late at night etc. There is certainly some benefit to getting tested for H. pylori, but its not cheap and its not like a strep throat swab. Additionally the treatment is for multiple weeks and is not 100% effective. While you may not want to hear it, just having heartburn is not an indication to be tested for H. pylori, for all the reasons I have mentioned. But by all means, rant on the interwebz about how you're smarter than youre doctor after watching a 5 minute video.
M2nwe In video it is stated that only 1% ulcers are caused by HCL, few by stress and food but main culprit is Pylori. Either the video is false and misinterpreted Barry's foundings.
I had h-pylori twice in my lifetime (am only 27 years old) and it’s sooo painful 😣 I also had an ulcer once due to h-pylori and trust me it’s not that fun. However, am forever thankful to this doctor’s contribution to science 🙏 without it I might’ve had to go through surgery 🙃
@@OluwaseunSmart Most ulcer treatment is usually the same now. Omeprazole and sucralfate for ulcers plus antibiotics if it's caused by h pylori. I'm being treated for an acute peptic ulcer right now and omeprazole and sucralfate make a massive difference after 4-5 days of continued use.
The moment I read the title of this video I was hoping that it would talk about H. Pylori, and I felt vindicated when it did. I was diagnosed with H. Pylori in high school. For years before that I have chronic stomach pain and nausea, but every time I went to my doctor she said it was because of stress and anxiety. I was surprised when a new doctor told me my symptoms may be caused by a bacteria that eats away at your stomach lining, allowing acid to hurt your stomach. I took antibiotics that killed the bacteria, and my stomach slowly healed. I still have stomach issues, but they’re much less frequent. I do wish this video described *how* H. Pylori causes stomach ulcers. And that it didn’t dismiss that stress and anxiety do cause stomach pain and nausea. Stomach issues are a stress response, and prolonged toxic stress weakens your immune system and allows bacteria to hurt your body. But it is a huge problem that many symptoms are dismissed by doctors as being due to stress, when they could be caused by a number of physical problems.
@@divine2310 It was years ago so I don't remember the exact antibiotics, but I think it was a tripe therapy including amoxicillin. I looked up treatments and it seems triple therapy has become less effective due to antibiotic resistant H. pylori strains. There are other antibiotic treatments that are being tested. The most effective includes taking probiotics. If you think you have an infection, ask your doctor to be tested, and discuss the options you have. I hope you get effective treatment!
I had gastritis a few years ago--actually, about the same time as this video was made. That was the worst month of my life. Not because I was in pain, since the pain went away rather quickly after I started taking antibiotics, but because when you have an ulcer, there is so much food that you can't eat. I ended up just not eating as much because I couldn't eat anything tasty, and my options were so limited that I was getting sick of unseasoned chicken and rice and apples.
am the same i have hp bacteria i was on medication but i saw a video of how to treat it with food so i started reducing sugar and i ate twice a day fresh broccoli sprouts and other stuff reduced milk and dude am fine now eating watever i want after so damn long
Could You please elaborate more on your daily diet and fruits, veggies and nuts? Please! I am drinking cabbage juice and drinking cualalache tea, and they do calm my ulcer
My ulcers were a result of taking antibiotics before having oral surgery and it wiped out all my good gut bacteria. If you have to take antibiotics at all, especially the ones that clear out your gut, load up on probiotics!!!
I had stomach ulcer about 17 years ago, and my doctor keep prescribed me with stomach acid suppression whenever symptoms reappearing (every 6 months or so), and I had that going for years. Until one day I meet a new doctor, she suggested it might be a bacterial infection and wanted me to do a test, sure enough, the test showed positive for bacterial infection, then I got the antibiotics, after a week I was fully cured, haven't had the ulcers ever since. Thanks to this video, I now know who I should thank the most 🙏
Wow that was so informative... Can't believe the stress and food notions are still so prevalent. I had an ulcer for the first time recently and now I understand the correlation between the first time trying Tylenol as well.
Had stomach ulcer when I was 5. I remember a lot of childhood memories and it’s the memory I don’t want to remember but do. It’s one of the worst pains I’ve ever had in my life. Had to stop school for 2 months because of it and my parents were so worried! It’s one of those pains that’s up there along with kidney stones.
Thanks to the work of Dr Marshall, I got a diagnosis of H. Pylori and after so much suffering (that started as a child)… I recovered… but it wasn’t an easy ride, so I admire what he put himself through for many others well being. May God bless you ♥️🙏🏽
@@ITyourCHOICE truthfully, I was a child, so I couldn’t tell the difference in terms of location, I say it was my stomach because that’s what I was told was affected
I was a heavy drinker and had stomach pain at night after dinner and lasted from 10pm till 9-10 in clock in the morning. I fixed my diet and ate around 4 , took probiotics and quit alcohol all together. It took me a good 6 months for it to disappear all together. I slowly saw the pain come back less severe than before and eventually but went away. I haven’t had stomach pain for a year and alcohol is not worth that pain Al all.
@@dbodybuilder1 it’s gone for good. Alcohol was the problem with bad bacteria. A good month of so if probiotics and no alcohol did the trick. Haven’t had any stomach issues for the past 6 months.
Hi I am a doctor and I had suffered from gastritis due to h.pylori infection during my college days,and had taken the triple regimen of antibiotics which took care of it....never knew the history about it.Thanks guys and super cool animation..😂👏🏽
Yes! Finally my Mom can listen to me for once because she has all of these problems (smoking, joint pain, etc) she needs to test if she has H. Pylori in her stomach. She had this ulcer for 15 years. Doctors told her to live with it. Thank you Ted-Ed!
Angelic Zeru 15 years? Oh my God how does she live? Like in terms of eating. I've had it since late May. Still trying to cure it it's somewhat helping.
I suffer from Pulmonary Hypertension. There are three different studies that show that my condition may be caused by gut bateria. So this concept is not too far off base. Now I'm trying to find those that are studying this complex condition in the hopes that they will find a cure for my condition before I die
Excellent video, and good explanation about ulcers occur. One thing to know, your normal flora controls a lot of your illness and keep you healthy. Anything that affects it including taking antibiotics, stressors, illness, infection will alter the GI gut Flora. This alteration of the gut Flora allows for bad bacteria/ yeast to proliferate and cause disease
If you found this informative, you may also want to know that when the gut microbiome is out of balance, it typically has 2 characteristics: low production of butyrate-producing bacteria, and overgrowth of bad bacteria! The more you know!
H.pylori has also been implicated in most of my ailments. Mastic resin from Chios is a natural treatment for H.Pylori and I've found also helps gingivitis...
I heard about it on the radio on my way to school when I was a little girl in the early ‘90s. What’s shocking is that people still think ulcers are caused by stress, food and excess acid *30 YEARS* later.
Tbh it is the HCl that damages the mucosa of the stomach, leading to the ulcer. H pylori just messes with the stomach's pH detection so gastric juice secretions aren't turned off. That's why you prescribe triple therapy: two antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor to inhibit gastric juice secretion. Also, H pylori is a common cause of *duodenal* ulcers (firstmost section of the small intestine). Gastric ulcers are less likely to be caused by H pylori alone; it is usually a combination of H pylori infection AND overuse of a class of painkiller called non-steroidal antiflammatories, such as aspirin and ibuprofen. With gastric ulcers, the infection needs to be all over the stomach but for duodenal ulcers only in the bottom-most region, closest to the duodenum (called the pylorus). The stomach-wide infection combined with inflammation (exacerbated by NSAID overuse, which inhibits prostaglandin as mentioned as a protective mechanism in the video) leads to gastric ulcers. Interestingly, if you have a duodenal ulcer, you are protected from gastric cancer, but more likely to get oesophageal cancer after treatment. Gastric ulcers can lead to gastric cancer and need to be closely monitored.
Yes. This is exactly what I had, it was causing a plethora of problems. Probiotics gave instant but short-term relief, but once I asked my Dr to test for helicobactor pylori, got the antibiotics to kill it, and healed myself with bone broth, my quality of life changed drastically!
Had 2 bleeding ulcers that were right on an artery earlier this year that required 2 emergency surgeries and was negative for H pilory. Turns out my great grandfather died from bleeding ulcers, my grandfather had ulcers and then I had these ulcers at the same age. While this is completely anecdotal it shows a genetic predisposition for my family and was able to give my doctors a look at a possibility of what otherwise seemed unheard of for my age.
My grandpa died of Stomach cancer and my family has a history of Gastritis.It was when my mother attended her screening did my entire family found out about the culprit, that is H Pylori. Every single one of us had to take antibiotic therapy, very gruesome process, and definitely changed our food palate forever. P.S don't drink loose leaf tea on an empty stomach.
I still think that ulcers can be caused by stress due to the fact that stress can effect our immune systems and can allow bad bacteria into our bodies.
True. I had ulcer, since then I often got advise from my family to stop my coffee and soft drink habits. The stubborn me wouldn't care at all... I even mix coffee and energy drink...🤣
They basically said that. 50% of people have H.Pylori in their stomach but only some of them get ulcers. It seems like smoking, severe stress and many other things can weaken the body's defences, allowing the infection to overrun the protections in the stomach and create an ulcer. However, without the bacteria in the first place, this wouldn't happen. The treatment is very simple - a week or so treatment with acid reducers and antibiotics. Way better than surgery (which was the final state treatment option before the bacteria was identified as the cause).
As a sufferer for a couple of decades, the course of three different antibiotics for ten days gave me an utterly new lease of life. Nowadays I can eat hot food, greasy food, spicy food, get stressed, take booze and I'm fine, whereas before these contributing factors only worsened my condition. I take my hat off to this doctor for changing my life for the better. The source of the bacteria? People not washing their hands, after using the toiiet. It's that simple It doesn't have to originate with you. Others, preparing food or drink, even passing you a glass, plate, cutllery, etc, can be the start of the nightmare. I've advised many folk, since being cured about three decades ago, to consider the antibiotic treatment, before giving any serious thought to surgery, which still appears to be a standard option for many. If you aren't one of the 1% suffering from excessive hydrochloric acid why put yourself through decades of misery? Hope my own experience helps others in the same situation I was back then.
Literally just finished treatment for H. Pylori two days ago. It's actually very common but not commonly tested for unless you're having stomach surgery.
What a HERO. I read an article about Barry Marshall a long time ago (probably around when he won the Nobel) but it was verrry complicated, but I was also really young. All I took away from it was that he was a hero and stress does NOT cause ulcers. When I would tell people the stress cause was a myth, they'd be like "Then what does?!" I wasn't able to fully explain it because the way i learned about it was always too complex....until now! I'm glad I can honor Marshall's work and can help dispel this rumor in my everyday life. :)
I lost my father to stomach cancer 1996 which had been preceded by years of ulcers. We thought it was because of stress and spicy food. If only we knew What we know now 😔 rest in peace Dad
It's so crazy to think so many folks out there have gone through the same thing! I've suffered from peptic ulcers due to (what doctors believe is) ulcerative colitis since I was about eleven or twelve. It took them nearly five years (and four endoscopies/biopsies) to pinpoint that it was a massive bloody ulcer in my duodenum that was causing me so much pain -- of course, after having had my (perfectly healthy) gallbladder and appendix removed because there was "no reason someone this young should be in this much pain". Nearly a decade later, even though several rounds of PPI's, antacids, antibiotics and strict dieting, I still continue to suffer from chronic pain that ranges from manageable to needing hospitalisation for days on end, but that won't stop me from finding a cure! Kudos to this incredible pair of doctors, their work should be published worldwide!
"Fun fact": Stress may be related to ulcers because it usually affects our immunologic system and a inflamatory response. With a weaker immune defense, bacterias (and other organisms) that are usually "harmless" or easily defeated can turn out as a big problem. Of course, it doesn't mean that if you arent stressed you will not get ulcers, or if you are stressed you will get ulcers, but stress may be related to that problem.
In my country, people believe that ulcer is caused by eating only small amount of food, so if I'm on diet, they will tell me I might get ulcer if I don't more food.
i've find in most cases of my friend that are having stomach pain and the cause seems like they drink too much coffee (or strong caffeine) without eating food, sometime alcohol. the disease could be called gastritis or gastric ulcer. occurs when gastric acid (hydrochloric acid) had no food to digest/dissolve so the acid scrape off the mucosa layer, could be around digestive tracts & the heli pylori bacteria infect the gastrointestinal wall, then come the inflammation.
I had stomach ulcers first at age four! Was plagued with them throughout childhood and until age 23! Since my twenties my digestive problems have only been intestinal! Then after hitting age 45 I seemed to have become pretty immune to pylori problems! So some physical problems get better with age! It was finally good to learn about the cause behind ulcers!
At the time that he did this, the medical consensus was that no bacteria could live in the hostile environment that is our stomachs. He had an opposing opinion and needed evidence to prove it. By doing this to himself he quickly proved it. If he was wrong and the consensus was correct, then the bacteria would've been killed by his stomach.
I remember when this was happening. The treatment for ulcers at the time was directed at methods for limiting anxiety and avoiding robust foods. That the treatment didn't cure the condition was telling.
In November of 2020 I was admitted into the Hospital, a few days later the doctors came into the room and said I'm diagnosed with ulcerative colItis. A long-term disease that's never going away, it goes away for a few years and later on in the future comes back. It causes severe stomach pain and diarrhea loose stools and internal bleeding. I stopped consuming dairy products and I feel a lot better, my stomach doesn't hurt and I don't have to keep going to the washroom. I've been Vegan since December 8th 2020 I never looked back, it's the best decision I've made.
@@rajaveln9355 I was on several different medications pills all at once in the hospital. I lost so much blood, I had to get a blood transfusion. I have someone else blood inside of me that's basically the same type of blood. Before I signed the paperwork I asked them more then once, has it been tested they said yes. My iron level was dangerously low I couldn't keep my balance if I tried to walk.
The first time I noticed pylori bacteria was when I was 5 years old. It was dark inside the room and my closet was open a crack but when I looked real hard, I could see it ... just staring at me with those eyes! It was horrible!
two words for our science (specifically medical) ... fascinating yet incomplete... as Albert Einstein said - Mystery is beautiful! (as motivation). The one who is mad enough to be fascinated to solve this mystery at any coast is true scientist. Kudos to all of them!
Whenever i skip a meal.. My parents and friends say I'll get ulcers from the excess acid.. No matter how much I try to tell them about the real real reason behind it, they don't believe me😑
I had a scope done in early June. The doctor said I didn't have any signs of h. pylori in my biopsy, but after months of taking PPI's and Zyrtec (I was prescribed those before my scope) nothing has changed. I'm so careful, but if I accidentally get an ingredient my stomach doesn't like I feel like I've gone backwards. This all started after food poisoning in early November last year. I feel like it can't just be excessive acid. There has to be more to it.
@@mikehenning4085 Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. I think at the time of my scope I had been on them since February, but my doctor had me take a break for the month before my scope and had me eating gluten daily so that she could test me for gluten intolerance and celiac. That was an awful few weeks 🤢🤢.
Y’all hear about that one guy who only had a few weeks to live because of all the stomach ulcers he had, (he was a businessman, so he was always stressed). He asked the doctors to have him take a trip to the sea even though he was so sick because he was gonna die anyway. He has never been happier in his life, he smoked cigars, drank alcohol, and ate foods that were impossible for him to eat before. Stress is a big factor guys.
Many have bacteria but no ulcer. Why? Stress make stomach week then bacteria takes over. I don't see contradiction here. Had ulcer before, while not: drinking, smocking and no drugs of any kind. But even now and before I feel some discomfort when on long drives and somewhat stressed.
I had ulcers a couple of times when I was younger. The first time I took a lot of antacids and it took a long time to get over. The second time I took antacids at first but then I noticed every time I ate a large salad I had respite from the burning pain. So I ate a lot of salad and within a week my ulcer was gone. Haven't gotten any ulcers since.
I suffer from this disease currently. The antibiotics I was perscribed cost 700 dollars and the side effects were insane to the point where my doctor ordered me to stop taking them. I'm still living with these little things in my stomach and it is a nightmare!!?
I also have h pylori freakin up my pipes and throwing massive raves in my tum. Also had antibiotics nearly kill me. Our best bet is large amounts of garlic, cut them into pill sized shapes. Probiotics like kefir are good, though I believe it would be best to grow these cultures ourselves at home rather than their usually sugary marketed version. Either way be careful when self prescribing even the garlic because it's powerful and do your own research too. also maybe we should keep in touch. Maybe there's a reddit group already...
Valosar Aria I also suffered with this disease when I was 15 and 24. When I was 15 the doctor prescribe me a liquid antacid "tagamet" when I was 24 due to lack of money to buy an expansive medicine someone told me to boil guava leaves and drink which I did and a day after the pain is gone. Now I know where to go or what to take.
I had it for 3 years. Had every procedure done twice (went to 2 GI specialists) and the first one told me to remove my gallbladder and "see" if it works.. and the second one just threw me on the strongest proton pump inhibitors with highest dosage and said good luck basically. After awhile I decided to change everything I could within my lifestyle and apparently diet fixed me entirely. It's been almost 10 months since I started my strict diet where I don't eat any wheat, dairy, added sugar (non-natural sugar), soy and some fruit and vegetables that bother me for whatever reason. Mess with your diet and listen to your body. Start with a very strict diet like the one I mentioned then every 2 weeks try adding a food (make sure the food doesn't have more than one new ingredient or else you won't know what bothered you) and your body will let you know if it's "bad" or not. Very tedious and not the best tasting diet, but if you're enduring the pain I was then you'll be more than happy to have it fixed even if it means eating dirt everyday. Best of luck

It's similar to what happened to me when I was teenager: I had gallstones.

It does not but it causes your ulcer to swell. So you still need to avoid it when you have ulcer. If you're healthy then go for it.
WarioGiant Dealing with arrogant Dr's cause ulcers
WarioGiant
Spicy food doesn’t cause ulcers. However, if you have ulcers in your G.I. tract, spicy food can irritate those ulcers. This causes pain and discomfort. Do you understand the difference?
Are you all saying spicy foods can't develop gastritis as well? Because you can get ulcers from gastritis... And I have gastritis with no h. Pylori so then wtf if it's not stress, smoking or food
Moses K
Your gastritis could be caused by something else. Gastritis = inflammation or infection in the stomach/G.I. tract. Other causes of gastritis include adverse effects of certain medications, drinking alcohol, smoking weed (especially synthetic marijuana), also other health ailments/diseases. Diabetes is a big culprit. How is your blood sugar?
I dunno about ulcer, but the worst stomach pains I’ve experimented were when I was also experiencing psychological stress. It can’t be just a coincidence.
I think there is a correlation but the video is explaining that stress isn't the cause
Stress cause it
I think the video explained the bacteria "Helicobacter pylori" is the culprit. It didn't say "stress isn't another cause".
50% people were infected by the bacteria but only a portion of people got stomach ulcers.
I got my ulcers from smoking cannabis . But I also have tons of stress and anxiety

I remember my late grandfather who died in the 90s, the poor man suffered from chronic ulcers. I remember asking what caused them, and family members would say ‘we don’t know, doctors say anything can cause uclers, like too much acid, but there’s no cure and no known cause’. I’m so glad we finally found the culprit!
I need to show this to my Doctor. and maybe ask him where did he got his education
I think the fact that you blindly trust a TED talk video over your doctor probably says a lot more about you (and likely most of our country) than it does about your doctor's education. While some stomach ulcers are caused by H. pylori (the bacteria), most are in fact caused by our diet (food, coffee, alcohol) and worsened with obesity, eating large meals late at night etc. There is certainly some benefit to getting tested for H. pylori, but its not cheap and its not like a strep throat swab. Additionally the treatment is for multiple weeks and is not 100% effective. While you may not want to hear it, just having heartburn is not an indication to be tested for H. pylori, for all the reasons I have mentioned. But by all means, rant on the interwebz about how you're smarter than youre doctor after watching a 5 minute video.
True that. I should have said "post"
My Channel Has Only 1Video Just To Make You Happy
I’ll bet your doctor didn’t get his education watching a couple UA-cam videos.
M2nwe In video it is stated that only 1% ulcers are caused by HCL, few by stress and food but main culprit is Pylori. Either the video is false and misinterpreted Barry's foundings.
M2nwe oh just zip it dude. Ur outnumbered
I had h-pylori twice in my lifetime (am only 27 years old) and it’s sooo painful 😣 I also had an ulcer once due to h-pylori and trust me it’s not that fun. However, am forever thankful to this doctor’s contribution to science 🙏 without it I might’ve had to go through surgery 🙃
What did you do about your ulcer?
@@OluwaseunSmart Most ulcer treatment is usually the same now. Omeprazole and sucralfate for ulcers plus antibiotics if it's caused by h pylori. I'm being treated for an acute peptic ulcer right now and omeprazole and sucralfate make a massive difference after 4-5 days of continued use.

The moment I read the title of this video I was hoping that it would talk about H. Pylori, and I felt vindicated when it did. I was diagnosed with H. Pylori in high school. For years before that I have chronic stomach pain and nausea, but every time I went to my doctor she said it was because of stress and anxiety. I was surprised when a new doctor told me my symptoms may be caused by a bacteria that eats away at your stomach lining, allowing acid to hurt your stomach. I took antibiotics that killed the bacteria, and my stomach slowly healed. I still have stomach issues, but they’re much less frequent.
I do wish this video described *how* H. Pylori causes stomach ulcers. And that it didn’t dismiss that stress and anxiety do cause stomach pain and nausea. Stomach issues are a stress response, and prolonged toxic stress weakens your immune system and allows bacteria to hurt your body. But it is a huge problem that many symptoms are dismissed by doctors as being due to stress, when they could be caused by a number of physical problems.
What's the name of the antibiotics please? 🙏
@@divine2310 It was years ago so I don't remember the exact antibiotics, but I think it was a tripe therapy including amoxicillin. I looked up treatments and it seems triple therapy has become less effective due to antibiotic resistant H. pylori strains. There are other antibiotic treatments that are being tested. The most effective includes taking probiotics. If you think you have an infection, ask your doctor to be tested, and discuss the options you have. I hope you get effective treatment!
This art style & animation was brilliant. I hope there's more like this one in the future.
I had gastritis a few years ago--actually, about the same time as this video was made. That was the worst month of my life. Not because I was in pain, since the pain went away rather quickly after I started taking antibiotics, but because when you have an ulcer, there is so much food that you can't eat. I ended up just not eating as much because I couldn't eat anything tasty, and my options were so limited that I was getting sick of unseasoned chicken and rice and apples.

Until one day I meet a new doctor, she suggested it might be a bacterial infection and wanted me to do a test, sure enough, the test showed positive for bacterial infection, then I got the antibiotics, after a week I was fully cured, haven't had the ulcers ever since.

Wow that was so informative... Can't believe the stress and food notions are still so prevalent. I had an ulcer for the first time recently and now I understand the correlation between the first time trying Tylenol as well.
Had stomach ulcer when I was 5. I remember a lot of childhood memories and it’s the memory I don’t want to remember but do. It’s one of the worst pains I’ve ever had in my life. Had to stop school for 2 months because of it and my parents were so worried! It’s one of those pains that’s up there along with kidney stones.
Praying is the solution, Jesus Christ is our savior Amen 🙏🏽

I was a heavy drinker and had stomach pain at night after dinner and lasted from 10pm till 9-10 in clock in the morning. I fixed my diet and ate around 4 , took probiotics and quit alcohol all together. It took me a good 6 months for it to disappear all together.

Now I'm trying to find those that are studying this complex condition in the hopes that they will find a cure for my condition before I die
Excellent video, and good explanation about ulcers occur. One thing to know, your normal flora controls a lot of your illness and keep you healthy. Anything that affects it including taking antibiotics, stressors, illness, infection will alter the GI gut Flora. This alteration of the gut Flora allows for bad bacteria/ yeast to proliferate and cause disease
Kudos to the doctor!
Super informative, well organized script with awesome animation! Great job keep it up!
If you found this informative, you may also want to know that when the gut microbiome is out of balance, it typically has 2 characteristics: low production of butyrate-producing bacteria, and overgrowth of bad bacteria! The more you know!
H.pylori has also been implicated in most of my ailments.
Mastic resin from Chios is a natural treatment for H.Pylori and I've found also helps gingivitis...
I will for sure remember this doctor he is an asset to humanity
I heard about it on the radio on my way to school when I was a little girl in the early ‘90s. What’s shocking is that people still think ulcers are caused by stress, food and excess acid *30 YEARS* later.
They are ,for sure ,this video is not true
Tbh it is the HCl that damages the mucosa of the stomach, leading to the ulcer. H pylori just messes with the stomach's pH detection so gastric juice secretions aren't turned off. That's why you prescribe triple therapy: two antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor to inhibit gastric juice secretion.
Also, H pylori is a common cause of *duodenal* ulcers (firstmost section of the small intestine). Gastric ulcers are less likely to be caused by H pylori alone; it is usually a combination of H pylori infection AND overuse of a class of painkiller called non-steroidal antiflammatories, such as aspirin and ibuprofen. With gastric ulcers, the infection needs to be all over the stomach but for duodenal ulcers only in the bottom-most region, closest to the duodenum (called the pylorus). The stomach-wide infection combined with inflammation (exacerbated by NSAID overuse, which inhibits prostaglandin as mentioned as a protective mechanism in the video) leads to gastric ulcers. Interestingly, if you have a duodenal ulcer, you are protected from gastric cancer, but more likely to get oesophageal cancer after treatment. Gastric ulcers can lead to gastric cancer and need to be closely monitored.
what's the solution or cure naturally to kill off bacteria and heal???
Excellent explanation 😀
Best explanation so far!

Einstein once said “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.”

Yes. This is exactly what I had, it was causing a plethora of problems. Probiotics gave instant but short-term relief, but once I asked my Dr to test for helicobactor pylori, got the antibiotics to kill it, and healed myself with bone broth, my quality of life changed drastically!
How was it taking the antibiotics? And you healed yourself with the meds and bone broth or just the bone broth?
Tell us about this
Had 2 bleeding ulcers that were right on an artery earlier this year that required 2 emergency surgeries and was negative for H pilory.
Turns out my great grandfather died from bleeding ulcers, my grandfather had ulcers and then I had these ulcers at the same age.
While this is completely anecdotal it shows a genetic predisposition for my family and was able to give my doctors a look at a possibility of what otherwise seemed unheard of for my age.
My grandpa died of Stomach cancer and my family has a history of Gastritis.It was when my mother attended her screening did my entire family found out about the culprit, that is H Pylori. Every single one of us had to take antibiotic therapy, very gruesome process, and definitely changed our food palate forever. P.S don't drink loose leaf tea on an empty stomach.
My father's just had emergency surgery for this aswell, im scared and im glad you made it through it. Gives me hope.
Yes! Gastrointestinal cancer runs in my family too, and I've struggled with h pylori for all my life :(
maybe eating habits are also the same. Thats why. We also inherit the everyday mistakes from our parents
@@Bipedalduck loose tea increases acid?
I still think that ulcers can be caused by stress due to the fact that stress can effect our immune systems and can allow bad bacteria into our bodies.
True
ua-cam.com/video/gcioCjMEqrM/v-deo.html
So true! Living proof here ☝
True. I had ulcer, since then I often got advise from my family to stop my coffee and soft drink habits. The stubborn me wouldn't care at all... I even mix coffee and energy drink...🤣
They basically said that. 50% of people have H.Pylori in their stomach but only some of them get ulcers. It seems like smoking, severe stress and many other things can weaken the body's defences, allowing the infection to overrun the protections in the stomach and create an ulcer. However, without the bacteria in the first place, this wouldn't happen.
The treatment is very simple - a week or so treatment with acid reducers and antibiotics. Way better than surgery (which was the final state treatment option before the bacteria was identified as the cause).
Woah I just so happen to have a bad stomach ache
Floam Squish but I been having pain for months now?
Whoever this doctor is, is a hero
As a sufferer for a couple of decades, the course of three different antibiotics for ten days gave me an utterly new lease of life.
Nowadays I can eat hot food, greasy food, spicy food, get stressed, take booze and I'm fine, whereas before these contributing factors only worsened my condition.
I take my hat off to this doctor for changing my life for the better.
The source of the bacteria?
People not washing their hands, after using the toiiet.
It's that simple
It doesn't have to originate with you.
Others, preparing food or drink, even passing you a glass, plate, cutllery, etc, can be the start of the nightmare.
I've advised many folk, since being cured about three decades ago, to consider the antibiotic treatment, before giving any serious thought to surgery, which still appears to be a standard option for many.
If you aren't one of the 1% suffering from excessive hydrochloric acid why put yourself through decades of misery?
Hope my own experience helps others in the same situation I was back then.

And my BIOLOGY professor said that not eating breakfast causes stomach ulcers...
is this true?
He probably says that because it leads to accumulation of excess HCL in the stomach which causes inflammation and pain.
It damages the mucus of our stomach by digesting itself, it contributes. But the main reason is the bacteria, mentioned in the video.
Arc_Legend fasting is actually super healthy for the body. You are more healthy when you don’t eat breakfast.
No, silly, it's caused by sinning. It's a punishment from Lunos for crimes of heresy and debauchery.
Literally just finished treatment for H. Pylori two days ago. It's actually very common but not commonly tested for unless you're having stomach surgery.
What a HERO. I read an article about Barry Marshall a long time ago (probably around when he won the Nobel) but it was verrry complicated, but I was also really young. All I took away from it was that he was a hero and stress does NOT cause ulcers. When I would tell people the stress cause was a myth, they'd be like "Then what does?!" I wasn't able to fully explain it because the way i learned about it was always too complex....until now! I'm glad I can honor Marshall's work and can help dispel this rumor in my everyday life. :)

That's very sad buddy, hope you look after yourself.
The story of helicobacter pylori is quite old..I remembered reading it in the sciece magazines in the 90s...!
It's so crazy to think so many folks out there have gone through the same thing! I've suffered from peptic ulcers due to (what doctors believe is) ulcerative colitis since I was about eleven or twelve. It took them nearly five years (and four endoscopies/biopsies) to pinpoint that it was a massive bloody ulcer in my duodenum that was causing me so much pain -- of course, after having had my (perfectly healthy) gallbladder and appendix removed because there was "no reason someone this young should be in this much pain". Nearly a decade later, even though several rounds of PPI's, antacids, antibiotics and strict dieting, I still continue to suffer from chronic pain that ranges from manageable to needing hospitalisation for days on end, but that won't stop me from finding a cure! Kudos to this incredible pair of doctors, their work should be published worldwide!
There is an herb named potency pomegranate, you can consume it. it will be good.

"Fun fact": Stress may be related to ulcers because it usually affects our immunologic system and a inflamatory response. With a weaker immune defense, bacterias (and other organisms) that are usually "harmless" or easily defeated can turn out as a big problem. Of course, it doesn't mean that if you arent stressed you will not get ulcers, or if you are stressed you will get ulcers, but stress may be related to that problem.
In my country, people believe that ulcer is caused by eating only small amount of food, so if I'm on diet, they will tell me I might get ulcer if I don't more food.
What a brave brave man!!!
i've find in most cases of my friend that are having stomach pain and the cause seems like they drink too much coffee (or strong caffeine) without eating food, sometime alcohol. the disease could be called gastritis or gastric ulcer. occurs when gastric acid (hydrochloric acid) had no food to digest/dissolve so the acid scrape off the mucosa layer, could be around digestive tracts & the heli pylori bacteria infect the gastrointestinal wall, then come the inflammation.
I had stomach ulcers first at age four! Was plagued with them throughout childhood and until age 23! Since my twenties my digestive problems have only been intestinal! Then after hitting age 45 I seemed to have become pretty immune to pylori problems! So some physical problems get better with age! It was finally good to learn about the cause behind ulcers!

Like...what was he expecting? D fuq 😐
At the time that he did this, the medical consensus was that no bacteria could live in the hostile environment that is our stomachs. He had an opposing opinion and needed evidence to prove it. By doing this to himself he quickly proved it. If he was wrong and the consensus was correct, then the bacteria would've been killed by his stomach.
Stress ulcers are real and I most certainly get them during times of extreme upset...
I remember when this was happening. The treatment for ulcers at the time was directed at methods for limiting anxiety and avoiding robust foods. That the treatment didn't cure the condition was telling.

I stopped consuming dairy products and I feel a lot better, my stomach doesn't hurt and I don't have to keep going to the washroom. I've been Vegan since December 8th 2020 I never looked back, it's the best decision I've made.

you will, not all ulcers are caused by h pylori
I had a scope done in early June. The doctor said I didn't have any signs of h. pylori in my biopsy, but after months of taking PPI's and Zyrtec (I was prescribed those before my scope) nothing has changed. I'm so careful, but if I accidentally get an ingredient my stomach doesn't like I feel like I've gone backwards. This all started after food poisoning in early November last year. I feel like it can't just be excessive acid. There has to be more to it.

I had ulcers a couple of times when I was younger. The first time I took a lot of antacids and it took a long time to get over. The second time I took antacids at first but then I noticed every time I ate a large salad I had respite from the burning pain. So I ate a lot of salad and within a week my ulcer was gone. Haven't gotten any ulcers since.
That’s meta. So grateful for my fellow healthcare workers!

I suffer from this disease currently. The antibiotics I was perscribed cost 700 dollars and the side effects were insane to the point where my doctor ordered me to stop taking them. I'm still living with these little things in my stomach and it is a nightmare!!?
700 dollars? are you from the US? you can try natural ways to heal. there are tons of info on this
I also have h pylori freakin up my pipes and throwing massive raves in my tum. Also had antibiotics nearly kill me. Our best bet is large amounts of garlic, cut them into pill sized shapes. Probiotics like kefir are good, though I believe it would be best to grow these cultures ourselves at home rather than their usually sugary marketed version. Either way be careful when self prescribing even the garlic because it's powerful and do your own research too. also maybe we should keep in touch. Maybe there's a reddit group already...
Valosar Aria drink one glass of milk every day after waking up and immediately before going to bed. Do that everyday and your ulcer will go away.
Valosar Aria I also suffered with this disease when I was 15 and 24. When I was 15 the doctor prescribe me a liquid antacid "tagamet" when I was 24 due to lack of money to buy an expansive medicine someone told me to boil guava leaves and drink which I did and a day after the pain is gone. Now I know where to go or what to take.
I had it for 3 years. Had every procedure done twice (went to 2 GI specialists) and the first one told me to remove my gallbladder and "see" if it works.. and the second one just threw me on the strongest proton pump inhibitors with highest dosage and said good luck basically.
After awhile I decided to change everything I could within my lifestyle and apparently diet fixed me entirely. It's been almost 10 months since I started my strict diet where I don't eat any wheat, dairy, added sugar (non-natural sugar), soy and some fruit and vegetables that bother me for whatever reason.
Mess with your diet and listen to your body. Start with a very strict diet like the one I mentioned then every 2 weeks try adding a food (make sure the food doesn't have more than one new ingredient or else you won't know what bothered you) and your body will let you know if it's "bad" or not. Very tedious and not the best tasting diet, but if you're enduring the pain I was then you'll be more than happy to have it fixed even if it means eating dirt everyday. Best of luck
