These can occur in the stomach and duodenum - the first section of the small intestines, which is not as well protected as the rest of the intestines againts the acid secretions of the stomach.
In prolonged stress the stomach the stomach can over-secrete acid, so stress can be a cause.
Also, diets that are so acid forming are to be avoided.
Vitamin A is the primary nutrient needed to protect the lining of the duodenum.
While vitamin C does help people with duodenal ulcers, not more than 500 mg should be taken as it can cause irritation.
If a burning sensation is experienced after taking vitamin C, the dose is too high.
The most common cause of ulcers is infection with the Helicobacter pylori.
This should be tested by your doctor and treated with a specific antibacterial agent.
Also, check with food allergies.
