Step 1
Seek treatment for your ulcer immediately. In 9 out of 10 cases, ulcers are caused by a bacterial infection that can be treated with antibiotics. In other words, no more ulcer.
-
Step 2
If your ulcer can't be treated with antibiotics, ask your doctor about medicines, such as antacids, that will reduce stomach acid and, thus, irritation.
-
Step 3
Avoid stress - perhaps the most effective way to prevent or minimize symptoms of ulcers.
-
Step 4
Quit smoking (and avoid secondhand smoke) and limit or eliminate your consumption of alcohol, caffeine and spicy and fatty foods.
-
Step 5
Eat regular meals. Four or five small meals at regular intervals throughout the day will decrease gastric secretion hyperactivity.
-
Step 6
Avoid skipping meals. Try to keep some food in your stomach at all times.
-
Step 7
Drink milk. Skim milk is best.
-
Step 8
Avoid taking vitamins, especially vitamin C, on an empty stomach.
-
Step 9
Chew on a few saltines or sip a bit of carbonated beverage if you feel yourself getting nervous or irritable.
-
Step 10
Avoid aspirin and drugs such as ibuprofen.

on 11/22/2005 By combining these three herbs cayenne, licorice, and aloe vera (all in capsule form) for one month, I cured the five ulcers found by a specialist during an endoscopy. Prilosec gave no relief. Three months since surgery, and I'm still pain free.
