As AFTi reaches its five-year mark, it is important to take a fresh look at the current progress and the new areas of opportunities where the UK can play a role in supporting trade and regional integration in Africa.
To diagnose an ulcer, you may need a test called an upper endoscopy (EGD). This is a test to examine the lining of the esophagus (the tube that connects your throat to your stomach), stomach, and first part of the small intestine.
There it gnaws at the lining, initiating a painful ulcer, and somehow signals the stomach to produce more hydrochloric acid and more pepsin, a digestive enzyme. The pain of an ulcer can be relieved by eating. Half of adults older than 60 have H. pylori in their bodies, but only a small percent of them develop ulcers. Among younger people, only 5 to 10 percent have H. pylori infections, and far fewer have ulcers.
