can strep cause a peptic ulcer?

can strep cause a peptic ulcer?

Sounds crazy but I was reading somewhere that the bacteria that creates a peptic ulcer is somehow part of the strep family.

the reason i ask is that im dealing with really nasty acid issue for 6 months. heartburn, poor absorption, fatigue, doc said i had the beginning orf an ulcer after a scope he did on my esophogus.

Thing is, back in February I had strep throat for a week until the doc found out what it was... then i was on amoxicillin and didnt finish the last 5 days of it...

im wondering if that strep got lose in my system and really jacked me up....

any thoughts?
