Is there a natural way to deal with an ulcer? Also what does it mean if you get a stomach ache immediately?

Question

after ingesting anything-even a glass of water? Please don't say go to the doctor-that is obvious and I am asking for help in hopes of not having to go to a doctor-doctor's are a source of great stress to me!

Hi Salsa

Here are some ideas to heal your condition.

Causes of Peptic Ulcer
In addition to bacterial and viral infections, peptic ulcer can also be caused by poor diet, food allergies, nutritional deficiencies, alcohol, smoking, and chronic stress. As mentioned above, various commonly used medications can also cause problems, especially asprin. In addition to aspirin, other NSAIDs linked to peptic ulcers include Advil, Clinoril, Feldene, Ibuprofen, Nalfon, Nuprin, Orudis, Oruvail, Relafen, and Tolectin. In severe cases of ulcer, internal bleeding can occur due to thinning of the lining of the stomach and/or intestines.

Quick Action Plan for Peptic Ulcer

1. Avoid all sugars, refined carbohydrates, sodas, milk and dairy products, processed foods, preservatives, artificial sweeteners (especially aspartame), corn syrup, alcohol, white bread and white flour products, pastries, and hydrogenated and trans-fatty oils, as well as all foods to which your are allergic.
2. Emphasize organic, fresh vegetables and non-citrus fruits, organic grains, as well as organic, free-range meats and poultry and wild-caught fish.

3. Drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day.

4. Miso soup and strained vegetable broth, made from cooking down a variety of organic vegetables, are healing and easy to digest, making them especially valuable for any digestive problems.

5. To reduce symptoms, eat small meals throughout the day, rather than following the traditional three large meals per day routine.

6. Certain herbs have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help repair the lining of the stomach and intestines. The best herbs for this are Echinacea and goldenseal, aloe vera, cayenne pepper, chamomile, licorice root, and slippery elm.

7. Therapeutic juices include raw cabbage juice by itself, or mixed with either carrot or celery juice; raw potato juice; wheatgrass juice; carrot, spinach juice; carrot juice; carrot, beet cucumber.

8. Soothing baths two to five nights a week can help to relieve symptoms.

9. If you smoke, stop, and also avoid exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke. In addition, learn how to effectively cope with and manage stress.

10. If you are currently taking aspirin or other NSAIDs, consider replacing them with safer, more effective natural remedies.

11. Nutritional supplements include vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin C, and zinc, taken with a multivitamin/multimineral formula. Essential fatty acids, especial omega-3 oils, are also recommended, as are bismuth and the amino acid L-glutamine. Linseed oil can also be effective. It can be added to salads or over drizzled lightly steamed vegetables.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

I am fighting an ulcer with acid reflux right now. Please do your research and consult a doctor for treatment, but here is what I am doing.

DGL ( A special type of Licorice) Lozenges help heal the tummy.
Slippery Elm
A product called Acid Ease by Prevail.
10-12 glasses of water per day.
I am taking Prelief by the makers of Beano to help cut the acid.
Coral Calcium
Tagament because I can't take Nexium , Prilosec or any of the acid reducers.

Do a search on yahoo about healing ulcers naturally and you will get some good information.

I am doing everything I can to reduce the acid which doesn't help the ulcers at all.

Best of Luck to you !

Answer 3

It sounds like you have an open ulcer. Everytime you put something in your mouth, your tongue sents a signal to your stomach to start making digestive fluids, like hydrocloric acid. If the lining of your stomach is damaged, the acid will make your stomach hurt. There are two things that I've told other people to use. Cayenne pepper will stop the bleeding in the stomach. Put a little in water and drink. Its hot going down and your stomach will get warm. Eat some food with the cayenne. Also goldenseal will help your stomach. Its a natural infection fighter. The cure for stomach ulcers is to meditate. Stress in your mind causes most of the physical problems. Find someone who can teach you mantra meditation. It works fast and gets results.

Answer 4

Research starting in Austrialia in the 1980's showed conclusively that virtualy all stomach ulcers are the result of a bacterial infection. I am not sure if prevacid is an antiboitic? but it doesn't ring a bell as the antibiotic that was shown to be effective. Ask you pharmasist if it is, and ask them what they think is the most effective anitbiotic, then go back to your doctor and ask why you are not on the one your pharmisist has recommended. Doc's are often overwhelmed by propiganda (called education) from big pharma, but pharmisists usualy know the truth. Grapefuit seed extract is a super powerful antibiotic, but I am not sure if it's the right one.

Answer 5

light diet with small meals and snacks. nothing spicy and nothing with an acid base like grapefruit, oranges, and watermelon.

When I get an ulcer attack, I take Pepito bismal, that pink stuff works great. also tagment used to be a prescribed medicine for ulcers now it is over the counter, so you can take them 2 or 3 x a day.

good luck they are hard to live with,

Answer 6

i have peptic ulcer disease, and there isn't really a good way to deal with it just bland foods, no caffeine, smoking, and most important no alcohol. After about 8 weeks symptoms should go away. Milk is a good way to help ease the burning as well. Just have to watch your diet and get rid of stress
