ET-STAR Breath tests – These tests measure substances in a person’s breath after they drink a special liquid. Lab tests that check a sample of a bowel movement for the infection ♦ A procedure called an “upper endoscopy” – During an upper endoscopy, a doctor puts a thin tube with a camera on the end into a person’s mouth and down into the stomach and duodenum. Then, they check the lining of the stomach and duodenum for ulcers. HOW ARE PEPTIC ULCERS TREATED? Treatment depends on the cause, but most peptic ulcers are treated with medicines. People with H. pylori infection are often treated with 3 or more medicines for 2 weeks to get rid of the infection. This treatment can include: ♦ Medicine to reduce the amount of acid that the stomach makes ♦ Different types of antibiotics Some people need to take medicines that reduce the amount of acid for a longer amount of time. Some people take these medicines for the rest of their life. Follow all of your doctors’ instructions about taking your medicines. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any side effects. People who have serious problems from their peptic ulcers might also need to be treated with surgery. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER TREATMENT? After treatment, people often have follow-up tests. These can include: ♦ Tests to check that the H. pylori infection has gone away ♦ Upper endoscopy to check that the peptic ulcer has healed WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO HELP A PEPTIC ULCER HEAL? To help a peptic ulcer heal and to prevent future peptic ulcers, you can: ♦ Avoid smoking. ♦ Avoid NSAIDs (if possible). ♦ Avoid alcohol. There is no specific diet that has been proven to help people with ulcers feel better. But eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and foods with fiber might help lower the risk of future ulcers.
