Hi everyone, I discovered a lot of people have been asking for
solutions, remedies and cure for ulcer. I have some tips and
advise to give as regards that.
I have had ulcer for almost 6years now, and I can tell u its not
been funny. Vomiting, stooling with blood, intense pains
overnight, chronic heartburn, etc.
Recently I started a few natural remedies, and I have felt relief
that I've never known in my life. And now I know that the end
of ulcer is here!
There are a few things u should know. I have seen a lot of
doctors, and I can tell u, they all prescribe the same things.
Antacids, antibiotics(flagyl, amoxicillin, cimetidine, etc) or a
combination of d two with omeprazole tablets (meprasil,
rabeprazole, ulcertret, omez, etc). Some prescribe Ulcer kits. Its
the same combination( pyrox combi, ulsa-kit, etc). They usually
prescribe dis for 2wks or less, depending on the intensity of the
pain.
I have taken all this medications a number of times, and though
it may provide relief for a while, it doesn't cure the ulcer. The
worst part is the adverse effects of taking this strong antibiotics
(e.g flagyl) which leads to stomach pain, vomiting, dehydration,
loss of appetite and all. Attimes it could get so bad that u just
have to stop them. All this things av their own effects on the
body, its more complex for us females as I discovered it affects
my cycle attimes.
After a while, maybe a month or 2, d pain comes back and u
begin the treatment again. Its crazy I tell u.
Anyways, here are a few remedies that every ulcer patient
must know especially when pain becomes recurrent:
1. Stop taking fried foods( fried meat or fish, plantain etc) or too
oily meals (fried rice).
2. Stay away from spicy foods( suya, pepper soup, etc)
3. Stay away from hard. And crunchy snacks ( plantain chips,
potato chips etc)
4. Avoid carbonated drinks! ( Coke, malt, sprite la casera, etc).
They cause a lot of pain for an ulcer patient. Take plenty of
water instead, or drink youghurt.
5. Avoid mint sweets (lemon plus, peppermint, tom-tom and
the likes). Also don't take garri, or rough meals like eba.
Here are some healthy things you should do.
1. Take plenty of water. Take at least a litre of water every
morning when u wake up. Thus helps to dilute the acid your
stomach may av secreted over nite.
2. Eat swallows more with draw soup, (ewedu, okro, etc less of
egusi)
3. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. E.g bananas, apples,
watermelon, avocado, cucumber, carrots and cabbage.
ORANGES ARE NOT GOOD FOR ULCER PATIENTS.
4. If u can get apple cider vinegar(ACV), its good for heartburns
and ulcer too. Just add like 2tablespoons of it into a glass of
water. It gives relief. Research just showed dat antacids are not
too good for heartburns.
5. Eat in bits. A little at a time, so ur stomach can digest it in
bits. Always av snacks like biscuits, banana, with you if u know
in case you are hungry.
6. Too much of some nuts, may cause pains. (E.g groudnut,
walnut, cashew nuts.) NEVER eat ROASTED CORN. Its rough
and can cause the ulcer to bleed, hence causing pain.
I did some research online, and I found a few natural remedies.
1. Grate like 8 unripe plantains in 4-5litres of water in a keg. Let it
ferment for at least 48hrs. Take a cup at least 3 or 4 times a
day, in the morning afternoon and night, and before u sleep. Its
preferable if u take it an hour before meals. I have been using
this particular therapy and its working wonders! Take it for like
3weeks or so. It has no side effects that I av seen so far, just
adhere to d normal ulcer do's and donts.
2. Cabbage juice has been found to heal ulcers too. I tried it but
couldn't tolerate it for long cos it was making me feel like
vomiting. Heard its good if u blend with carrot and drink. Its
should be taken instantly for best results. Don't store d juice in a
fridge. It can make u stool a little, but it worked well when I
used it.
3. While this natural remedies are good, it doesn't mean you
should stay away from your doctor. Make sure you have a
doctor that's monitoring you.
Most of all, its all this things I av written require discipline. There
is nothing like a peaceful mind too. Worry less, and stay stress
free. Then trust God for a good health cause he is the one who
gives health and peace!
I hope i have helped quite a number of people with this.
Thanks. I would reply to any questions u have.
