AB  - Peptic  ulcer  disease  is  a  chronic  illness  manifested  by  recurrent  ulcerations  in  the  stomach  and  proximal  duodenum.  Acid  and  pepsin  are  thought  to  be  crucial  to  ulcer  development,  but  the  great  majority  of  peptic  ulcers  are  directly  related  to  infection  with  Helicobacter  pylori  or  nonsteroidal  anti-inflammatory  drug  (NSAID)  use.1,2Gastritis  is  acute  or  chronic  inflammation  of  the  gastric  mucosa  and  has  various  etiologies.  Dyspepsia  is  continuous  or  recurrent  upper  abdominal  pain  or  discomfort  with  or  without  associated  symptoms  (e.g.,  nausea,  bloating).3  Dyspepsia  may  be  caused  by  a  number  of  diseases  or  may  be  functional.
