Does spicy food cause stomach ulcers..

Does spicy food cause stomach ulcers..

Around 90% of stomach ulcers are caused by a bacterial infection called H. pylori, not your diet. The second most common cause is regular use of anti-inflammatory painkillers like ibuprofen. Spicy food can irritate an existing ulcer. It didn't cause it. Dr Hal Brindley · Gastroenterologist · Verified on Doctify.

Doctify on Instagram: "Heartburn during pregnancy means your baby will be born with lots of hair.

We asked a specialist.

Dr Hal Brindely is an gastroenterologist with 13 years of experience. Surprisingly, there is actually some evidence behind this one.

A study found a correlation between heartburn severity in pregnancy and the amount of hair a newborn had. The theory is that the same hormones that relax the oesophageal valve and cause heartburn may also influence foetal hair growth.

It is not a guarantee.

But it is not entirely a myth either.

Dr Hal Brindley is a gastroenterologist with 13 years of experience in gut health. Fibre feeds the good bacteria in your gut, and as they break it down they produce short-chain fatty acids that lower inflammation and strengthen your gut lining. No other single food group does this job.
