Feel like you have an ulcer? Too much stress? Smoke or drink too much caffeine? The times are hard, and life is harder. Taking medicine, cutting back on what we should not be doing is even harder. Relief for the tum-tum can be easily done without changing your immediate lifestyle, or damaging your wallet. Beta-carotene rich fruits and vegetables are tasty and good for you.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 can of peaches
  • 1 bag of baby carrots
  • 1 cantaloupe

    How to Heal a Stomach Ulcer with Common Food

  1. Step 1

    Choose one meal throughout the course of your day at which you can supplement what you eat with one beta-carotene rich fruit or vegetable. If you do not know which fruit or vegetable has what you need, and you are limited to a menu, a simple rule of thumb would be 'orange colored.' Except for oranges and tangerines, foods such as nectarines, sweet potatoes, apricots, and the few I have listed, are well-suited as a stomach soother. The acidity from Vitamin C in oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines may not be very soothing. The beta-carotene naturally heals the stomach lining, besides many other benefits as an antioxidant and nutrient.

  2. Step 2

    Add beta-carotene rich foods to each meal as you grow accustomed to the addition to your diet. There are several other popular fruits and vegetables rich in beta-carotene such as lettuce, spinach, pumpkin, squash, watermelon, and rhubarb to name a few.

  3. Step 3

    Self-monitor the personal signs you noticed attached with your stomach ailment. Signs of improvement should start to show in less than a month.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you can eat your choice of fruit or vegetable raw, that will show the best results.
  • If you have a medically documented ulcer, you should not be without the advice of your doctor.
