What are Peptic Ulcer, Ulcerative Colitis & Duodenal Ulcer?

What are Peptic Ulcer, Ulcerative Colitis & Duodenal Ulcer?

  1. Peptic Ulcer – Open sores that develop in the stomach lining or upper intestine due to excess acid. 
  2. Ulcerative Colitis – A chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes ulcers in the colon and rectum.
  3. Duodenal Ulcer – A type of peptic ulcer that specifically forms in the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).

  4. Poor diet – Low fiber, high junk food intake. 
  5. Autoimmune disorders – Common in ulcerative colitis. 

Stress & Hormonal Imbalance in Ulcers 

  1. Increased Stress Hormone (Cortisol) – Worsens ulcers by increasing stomach acid and inflammation.

  2.  Pitta imbalance – Causes burning ulcers, acidity, and inflammation. 
  3. Kapha imbalance – Triggers sluggish digestion, bloating, and mucus in stools (seen in ulcerative colitis). 

Sathva, Rajas & Thamas in Ulcers 

  1. Sathva (Balanced Mind) – Aids healing and digestion. 
  2. Rajas (Hyperactivity, Stress) – Triggers acidity, leading to ulcers.
  3. Thamas (Lethargy, Poor Diet) – Leads to poor gut health and chronic inflammation.
