People with stomach ulcers should eat sweet

The stomach is the most important part of the digestive tract, there are 4 layers: the outer membrane; muscle layer; smooth membrane and greasy membrane (mucosa). Greasy membranes have cells that release mucus to protect the stomach from acid damage; But there are also cells that secrete chlohydric acid (HCl). Stomach ulcers are caused by these cells increase acid secretion, mucosal ulcers. Sometimes, acid causes stomach ulcers that can be brought on by the outside.
