Dealing with ulcers for a long time and watching the research, yes does say that bacteria is the main cause, and H Pylori seems to be the most common but yes there are others. How they come is not as important as how there treated, not just for the instance in which you first find them but all your life as the lining in the duodenum or the stomach, once scar tissue is left and the ulcer is healed, is thin, and stress causing more acid is then the prime culprit of reviving it. People forget about the ulcer once they feel better, but it is very important to, even though people don’t want to consider themselves ulcer prone as its a label, cater to the ulcer for the rest of your life as people even forget they’ve had one and are plagued by the side effects for months before it hit them they need to treat the very sensitive linings. Aloe works great in doing this, but one needs to keep it around and when stressed or one drinks any acidic drinks like coffee to take a swig to coat the lining. The lining can’t callus like external skin so you have to constantly treat it. Don’t learn the hard way.

Aloe also in itself has anti-bacterial properties…it is a natural source of hydrogen peroxide! :) What a wonderful plant. If you don’t get the results you were hoping for, keep trying higher quality products, aiming for the freshest, most alive/raw juice or gel available. & Make sure you understand the difference between inner leaf/fillet & whole leaf. If you want to go to the bathroom, use the whole…it keeps the properties of the leaf’s latex, a laxative. Inner leaf does not, & soothes & heals more than anything (unless your healing process involves needing to go to the bathroom! Start off with small doses & work your way up!)

I find this information very interesting, Dr. From my experiences with people, I think that stress has a lot do to with improper digestion, IBS, dyspepsia, etc... If you're stress, then your GI tract contracts and tightens... leading to all sorts of problems. I think that Yoga would go a long way to remedy a lot of theses sort of ailments. What do you think? .-= David Askaripour´s last blog ..I’ll Gain Uruguay and Lose New York =-.

Not true! I am a physician and although NSAID is often a cause of ulcers as well as H Pylori, there
are many different types of bacteria that contributes to ulcers. If a patient tests negative for H Pylori it doesn’t mean that they don’t have an ulcer. Because H Pylori is the most common bacteria, everyone seems to think that this is the only bacteria out there. There is so much that contributes to problems with your GI tract that involve stress. Stress increases the production of acid in your stomach which can cause an imbalance in your GI tract. It’s very common for the public to get the wrong idea regarding these issues.

Components from Aloe arborescens and Cape Aloe are found to treat peptic ulcers in rats according to the book Aloes: the genus Aloe. However it seems that these studies were conducted on rats if I understood the info correctly. Interestingly, some references about Aloe vera omit peptic ulcer such as…Mayo clinic. Though there are folks who reported great relief from peptic ulcers after consuming Aloe. I don’t have peptic ulcers but personally I find eating fresh aloe gel in moderation does help digestion a lot.

Aloe vera juice is great. It even cured my horse of his ulcers. Just 60cc a day and his tummy healed up very nicely. It if can work on a 1,600 lbs horse I am sure it can help people.

We don’t know what causes ulcers? Um, most of them are caused by an infection called H Pylori. Almost all the rest are caused by taking NSAID medications. No mystery.

Hi Adam,
so sorry to hear of your pain. There isn’t always one reason that we get mouth sores. have you been to a natural doctor? have you looked into digestive problems? so many times mouth sores and skin eruptions are related to liver and colon probs…

I got rid of some pretty painful blisters using de -lenolate which is olive leaf extract (in pill form) that is antibacterial, fungal and viral. covers a lot of bases, seeing as though I am not sure where your problem stems from.

stress is also a huge factor to consider. sometimes we get eruptions during time of great stress (which also can be traced back to digestive probs)

if it were me I would see a naturopath. I would also use probiotics (kefir), delenolate, maybe even some coconut oil for its antiviral properties. we have a new article on fennel.. this might help as well. also have yourself tested for viral infection, candida etc so u can get to the bottom of this.

best of luck,
Gina

Aloie Vera can also make stomache probs worse. For example people with IBS can get severe cramps and get the runs.

I would venture to say that processed foods, toxic accumulations, prescription drugs, alcohol, sugar, antacids, oxidated fats all cause stomach ulcers.

While aloe vera can be used as a natural alternative to drugs, the underlying problem will never be addressed until one eliminates these foods and toxins from the diet. True health will never be attained until dependence on drugs and herbs are eliminated and the causative factors are uprooted.
