Can stress causes gastric problems?

Question:

Answers:
yes! stress can cause you to have a stomach ulcer.

Symptoms of anaemia, such as light-headedness.

most peptic ulcer's (ones that occur in the stomach or small intestine) are caused by a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori, but certain medications can also cause these ulcers, in rare cases stomach cancer is a cause.

I dont think you should only go by what you are told on the internet though, I suggest you go and explain any symptoms you might have to your g.p/ doctor and he may reffer you to be diagnosed.

there are a few ways to be diagnosed:

Endoscopy - a thin flexible tube is threaded down the oesophagus into the stomach under light anaesthesia. The endoscope is fitted with a small camera so the physician can see if there is an ulcer.

Barium meal - a chalky liquid is drunk and an x-ray is performed, showing the stomach lining. These tests are less common nowdays, but may be useful where endoscopy is unavailable.

Biopsy - a small tissue sample is taken during an endoscopy and tested in a laboratory. This biopsy should always be done if a gastric ulcer is found.

C14 breath test - to check for the presence of H. pylori. The bacteria convert urea into carbon dioxide. The test involves swallowing an amount of radioactive carbon (C14) and testing the air exhaled from the lungs. A non-radioactive test can be used for children and pregnant women.

I think it can aggravate gastric problems. I always thought that's what ulcers were caused from. I know it can cause constipation also.

Yes stress induces hormonal imbalance , it causes gastric acid secretion and thus increases gastric problems.
