Episode Summary: In this episode of A Gut Feeling, Jake and Dave dig into the real story behind stomach ulcers. While most people think ulcers come from too much acid, the hosts explain how the real issue is often damage to the mucin layer—the stomach’s natural protective shield. They unpack what weakens this barrier, from H. pylori infections and regular NSAID use to the effects of aging, and show how these factors open the door to ulcers. Along the way, they challenge conventional treatments and spotlight both medical and natural approaches for repair. Remedies like bismuth, cabbage juice, kefir, and targeted diet changes all get a practical discussion. The episode gives listeners a clearer, more holistic view of ulcers—what causes them, why mainstream solutions fall short, and how gut health, food, and lifestyle can make all the difference.
