Duodenal ulceration on the other hand, is almost always associated with a high<br />
acid secretion and also with a high incidence of Helicobacter Pylori.<br />
Both the gastric as well as the duodenal ulceration can contributed to by the use<br />
of NSAIDS.<br />
These, as we mentioned above regarding the leaky gut, can in fact directly<br />
damage the mucosa, but also interfere with the metabolism of the mucosal cells,<br />
and therefore can cause tissue breakdown, and subsequently ulceration.<br />
