Yes, stomach ulcers can be cured. Finding the root cause for the ulcers is a must. It can be from bacteria which may need antibiotics. They can also be from stomach acid being to acidic, and your provider can put you on PPI or anti acids. Changing your diet habits can also help. Talk with your provider to see if one of these options can help you.
Per Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), ulcers can be treated and managed effectively, with many studies suggesting that with herbal remedies and acupuncture, one can heal ulcers by addressing the underlying imbalances in the body, potentially leading to a "cure" by managing symptoms and preventing recurrence; however, you practitioners expertise does matter when treating ulcers !!
