Hey John

Yes it does. Medicine only surpress' issues, nutrition lets the body heal the issue. Here are some ideas besides cabbage juice for the ulcer.

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

This is obviously a natural health site that you visited but did they mention that it is now known that stomach ulcers are caused by a bacteria. The doctor will give a series of antibiotics to help cure them and then advise you on the correct diet. Since cabbage causes gastric upset, I don't see why anyone would recommend it. Non spicy foods will not irritate the stomach. Stay away from caffeine and alcohol. Motrin or anything that contains ibuprofen can also cause stomach bleeding.if you have an ulcer.

Answer 3

Well, when you talk about cabbage, it has a high rate for success in ulcer victims though that is not what I would recomend for help in ulceration. Since ulcers are caused by stress and acid, I would suggest a remedy by using Chlorophyll. You can get liquid chlorophyll at any health food store, it has a pleasant minty taste, (some brands don't so look for it specifically), and I would suggest putting 1 tablespoon in 6 oz. of water and drinking it. It will turn the stomach acid to alkaline and reduce the stress related trigger. There are lots of B vitamins in Chlorophyll. You need to get out and walk as well. Walking is one of the greatest stress reducers that I know of. Any of the round vegetables, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, etc., have good effects on the stomach. I would suggest, however, that you stay away from fats for the time being. Fat is the number one enemy of ulcers. Try using onions and garlic to flavor your foods instead of butter and margarines. I hope this helps! Good luck!
