Explanation
This is a circular erosion of the mucous membrane of the stomach, often penetrating through the muscularis mucosa, forming a crater within the wall of the stomach.
Considerations
The genesis of gastric ulcers is usually following and during stressful periods, accompanying the underlying etiology in almost every case. Regurgitation of biliary secretions from the duodenum when gastric HCl is absent or deficient stimulates the production of excessive HCl which digests the mucosa, and an ulcer forms. The pain of a gastric ulcer worsens when eating, vs. a duodenal ulcer which lessens when eating. Ulcers may also be caused by bacteria.
Treatment
The raw ulcer must be healed first before oral feeding is resumed. This may be accomplished by rest, mental soothing and by liquid nutrients designed to sooth and heal. Raw, fresh cabbage juice, a tablespoon at a time every hour during the early stages, then increased to a quart a day which may be mixed with carrot juice or celery juice according to taste. A diet rich in protein and featuring raw foods above all, should be instituted. Milk and cream, meat, raw fruits and vegetables, cheese, eggs, whole cereal grains, raw seeds and nuts, and fresh seafood are most desirable. Whole food supplementation should be started as soon as the pain is gone.
