â¢ Accidental poisoning is one of the leading causes of GI ulcer disease. This can be from plants (for example, toxic mushrooms, castor beans, or sago palm), pesticide or rodenticide toxicity, chemical poisoning (often with ethylene glycol or phenol), or heavy metal poisoning involving zinc, iron, or arsenic.
The primary cause of GERD is a compromise of the sphincter where the esophagus enters the stomach. This allows stomach acid to rise up the esophagus, irritating unprotected tissue and causing discomfort. Common causes of sphincter compromise include stomach ulcers, bacterial imbalance, hiatal hernia and stress.
