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.
Can I cure my stomach ulcer naturally? The lining of the gut is shielded from potentially damaging digestive secretions by a coating of protective mucus. Sometimes, this protective mechanism breaks down leading to the development of a raw area or ulcer in wall of the intestine. The majority of ulcers develop in the part of the gut just after the stomach called the duodenum, though some develop in the stomach itself. Dietary changes and certain nutritional supplements may promote ulcer healing and help prevent a recurrence of the problem.
