[Eazylawd]

Ulcer is a sore that develops on the lining of the oesophagus, stomach or small intestine.
Stomach ulcers occur when the thick layer of mucus that protects your stomach from digestive juices is reduced. This allows the digestive acids to eat away at the tissues that line the stomach, causing an ulcer.
Stomach ulcers may be easily treated when the right medication is been used, but they can become severe without proper treatment.

Nice information, what about eating of beans? I always hear people talk about how beans affects ulcer patients a lot. How true is this? Some even claim whenever they eat beans it tends to affect them or gives them chest burn and indigestion. I don't know if there is any medical proof backing these statement though.
