i have symptoms of ulcer. what are the foods that i can and cannot eat??

Answer 1

Just guessing here but anything with citric acid is a no no. I'd also avoid spicy foods anything with tomato (sauce or otherwise) Avoid extremely greasy foods like french fries or anything with the would fry any where near it. Milk is good as long as you aren't lactose intolerant also yogurt can help. I have acid reflux really bad and these are the things I try to do.

Answer 2

I am a bit confused why your vet has prescribed 2 medications that more or less do the same. Zantac as you already know is prescribed in the management of excesive stomach acid that causes nausea and Anlepsin is a medication that helps with the healing of a gastrointestinal ulcer. Your cat has not been diagnosed of an ulcer, have you noticed any blood in the vomit, if the answer is not then he hasn't have an ulcer. Before I forget Zantac works better on an empty stomach you will need to wait at least 1 hour after the Zantac to feed your cat. I belong to a CRF group and the most comon drug used in the management of nausea is ondansetron,t he normal dose is 1/4 of a 4mg pill twice a day. One thing that surprise me is that your vet didn't do any bloods at the time of his initial consultation. As you don't treat the symptom unless you have a proper diagnosis. For this you will need a full blood test including biochemistry and a urinalysis. When you are at the vets it will best if you also ask for the SPEC-FPL test which stands for Specific Feline Pancreatic Lipase. This test is similar to the PLI but can produce results within 48 hours. At the present time only IDEXX laboratories is able to run this test but your vet can certainly sent the sample to be examined. I know that is a long shot but in 25% of cases where there is feline pancreatitis it is associated with vomiting and nausea. Hope this will help. Have you try feeding your cat raw beaten egg, when Rayita was having the same problem (she has CRF) the vet told me to feed her this as it is full of the good proteins. Hope this will help.

Answer 3

If you have symptoms of an ulcer, See your doctor to get an actual diagnosis. They can prescribe medications to heal it and relieve symptoms. There are no foods that cause an ulcer. It was previously thought that certain foods caused ulcers. That is no longer factual. Although certain foods can aggravate an already existing ulcer. You may not have an ulcer at all but maybe some other gastrointestinal problem.
See your doctor first before you do anything.

Answer 4

Ulcers are usually caused by the H-pyloric bacteria so if you really think you have an ulcer the first thing you need to do is see the doc and get checked as this requires an antibiotic to take care of it. If you are just talking about the buring sensation in your stomach that could just be GERD aka gastic esophogeal reflux disease and not an ulcer. For this try an over the counter antacid tablet like prilosec, tagamet aka famotidine, zantac aka ranitidine or cimetidine. The only foods that need to be avoided are the one that cause YOU problems. First and foremost though if you really think you have an ulcer get checked by the doc though as ulcers often require antibiotic therapy.

Answer 5

You need only concern yourself with foods that make you uncomfortable. You also need worry about it only temporarily: ulcers are caused by a germ, and your doctor can give you an antibiotic that will get rid of them for you. The antibiotic is not terribly expensive, so get on down to your doctor's office and get checked out - self-diagnosis isn't all that good an idea; it may be something else. It could be mild or it could be very serious - the doctor is the person to figure that out and treat you properly. Don't try herbals or other home remedies; if you have something like an infection with those germs I mentioned, only an antibiotic will get rid of 'em. If you have something else serious going on, wasting time with herbals or "alternative" or "complimentary" medicine may keep you from real medicine long enough that your life is in very real danger.
