Stomach ulcers are the most visible sign of peptic ulcer disease. They occur when the thick layer of mucus that protects your stomach from digestive juices is reduced, thus enabling the digestive acids to eat away at the lining tissues of the stomach.
Pain in the stomach is the most common symptom associated with peptic ulcer. The acid in the stomach irritates the ulcer itself, which typically causes this pain. The pain associated with peptic ulcers can be isolated to one area or it can be felt across the abdomen.efore taking antacids or drinking milk as a treatment for your ulcer, it is important to remember: 1  If your ulcer is caused by the bacterium H. pylori, antacid are not an effective treatment. 2  Drinking milk can produce stomach acid and in reality, worsen the pain of an ulcer.
