Too Much Salt
The leading cause of stomach ulcers is high salt consumption. A high-salt diet that actually induces the genetic activity of the H. pylori and makes it more virulent. As already discussed, one of the primary reasons behind ulcers is H. pylori bacteria.
A study published in 2013 reported that a high intake of dietary salt causes genetic changes in H. Pylori and make it stronger. If you already have an ulcer, the present symptoms will be worsened by high salt consumption. This is why it is best to eat to consume a low-salt diet for people with an ulcer to prevent more discomfort.
