Stomach ulcers, often known as gastric ulcers, are fairly common. According to Medicine Net, the vast majority of people with stomach ulcers have no symptoms, although others may have discomfort, nausea, diarrhoea, or bloating....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
Typically, stomach ulcers necessitate a mix of drugs, including antibiotics. However, there is growing evidence that certain foods can help get rid of stomach ulcers or, at the very least, minimise the discomfort they produce.
1. Probiotics
Infection with H. pylori can disrupt the bacterial balance in the gut. Taking probiotics, such as Lactobacillus, which is naturally present in the gut, may help restore the gut’s natural bacterial balance.
Taking particular strains of probiotics may also help lessen antibiotic-related side effects, enhance the balance of gut flora, and make treatment more effective, according to some studies. Probiotics can be taken as a supplement or consumed in fermented foods.
2. Fermented foods
Several variables may influence the microbiome equilibrium in the gut. Unhealthy diets and certain illnesses or drugs are examples of them.
Fermented foods are high in germs including bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. Consuming foods containing these microorganisms can help to restore the gut microbiome’s balance.
3. Berries
Fruits have numerous health benefits, but berries may be especially beneficial in reducing H. pylori infection. There is also some evidence that cranberry juice may be beneficial in the treatment of H. pylori infection.
Raspberries, strawberries, cranberries, and blueberries are all berries that may be beneficial to a stomach ulcer diet.
4. Honey
Honey has been used as both a medicine and food since ancient times. It is naturally antimicrobial, and some varieties, such as manuka and oak tree honey, are especially effective. Honey consumption was linked to a lower prevalence of H. pylori infection.
5. Olive oil
In laboratory studies, olive oil inhibited H. pylori growth, but it was not as effective in human study participants.
Cooking and baking with olive oil, as well as using it in salad dressings and dips, may have some benefits for persons who suffer stomach ulcers.
