This chapter will discuss a peptic ulcer disease (PUD) case. PUD is a common gastrointestinal tract disease (GIT) that affects the stomach and duodenum. It is characterized by deep lesions into the mucosal thickness. Various dietary and behavioral choices could aggravate the epigastric pain associated with PUD and interfere with the healing process leading to complications. Management of PUD includes medical treatment with medications along with behavioral and nutritional changes. This case presents a complication of PUD, and choices exacerbating the condition. It will also discuss the role of medical nutrition therapy in minimizing the symptoms and promoting ulcer healing. Additionally, it will allow the dietetic professional to methodically assess the elements in the case that are relevant for planning the nutrition intervention; in addition to, educating the patient about dietary modifications to improve the patient's quality of life.

Double pylorus is an unusual condition in which a double communication between the gastric antrum and the duodenal bulb occurs. It may be congenital, or it may be acquired complication of peptic ulcer disease. We present a case of double pylorus in a gentleman with epigastric pain and previous history of peptic ulcer disease. The relationship between Helicobacter pylori and this disease was assessed. A review of the literature, the role of associated diseases and the role of H. pylori are discussed.

BACKGROUND: Since late 1960s, the prevalence of peptic ulcer disease and its complications has been steadily decreasing. OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the changing trends in the prevalence and complications of peptic ulcer in Kashmir. METHODS: A cohort of 10474 people aged 15-60 years in district Baramulla of Kashmir was interviewed about symptoms, complications, and surgery related to peptic ulcer. People were enquired about smoking, use of NSAIDs, H2 Receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors and endoscopies. All symptomatic and randomly selected group of asymptomatic people underwent esophago-gastro-cluodenoscopy. RESULTS: In symptomatic group, 286 (41.45%) people hod peptic ulcer and in asymptomatic group 24 (5.35%) had peptic ulcer. There were 71 already diagnosed cases of peptic ulcer; totaling 381. Thirty three people had surgery for peptic ulcer. The point prevalence of peptic ulcer was 3.54% and lifetime prevalence 8.96%. The highest prevalence was in 4th decade. Bleeding was seen in 23.63%, gastric outlet obstruction 4.20%, ulcer perforation 0.52%. 9.39% of peptic ulcer patients had undergone surgery. When compared to previous study in 1985 in Kashmir, there was decrease in point prevalence of 25%, in life-time prevalence of 20.14%, Gastric outlet obstruction by 51.7%, ulcer perforation by 87%, surgery rate by 60% and bleeding by a marginal 2%. CONCLUSION: Prevalence of peptic ulcerand its complications (except bleeding) are showing downward trend in Kashmir over the last 20 years. JMS 2012;15(2):136-40
