Peptic Ulcer Risk Assessment A peptic ulcer, irrespective of its
location in the duodenum or stomach, can be extremely painful
and distressing. There are many causative factors that can
predispose the development of a peptic ulcer. Take this simple
assessment to find out whether you are at risk of developing the
same. Peptic ulcers are best prevented rather than cured.
Avoiding alcohol and tobacco in any form; not consuming any
drugs that could weaken the mucosal defenses of your
gastrointestinal tract; eating fruits, vegetables, and sprouts
liberally; restricting your intake of red meat and spicy or
pungent food items; and drinking at least 8 – 10 glasses of
water daily; are certain precautionary measures that you can
take to prevent the formation of peptic ulcers.
