Is stomach ulcer heardity problem?

For the most part no. Sometimes stomach cancer can cause ulcers, and this can be somewhat linked to hereditary (though most causes of gastric cancer are environmental). But most cases of gastric ulcers are due to environmental factors. The most common cause of stomach ulcers is a bacterial infection with H. pylori, and this can run in families because they contaminate each other, but it isn't due to heredity. Second most common cause of stomach ulcers is chronic use of NSAIDs, such as ibuprophen. This too is not linked to heredity.
