5 best foods to eat for Ulcer Relief
Stomach ulcers are open sores that develop within the lining of your stomach. Ulcers are thought to be caused by excessive amounts of acid in the stomach. Stomach ulcers are often treated with antibiotics for an infection or medications to reduce, block, or neutralize stomach acid. Here are 5 best foods to eat for Ulcer Relief.
1. Cabbage
Scientists think that it may be the amino acid glutamine that gives cabbage its anti-ulcer punch. Glutamine helps to fortify the mucosal lining of the gut and to improve blood flow to the stomach, meaning it not only helps prevent ulcers but can also speed healing of existing sores. Rich in beneficial lactic acid bacteria. Cabbage juice was successfully used to prevent or heal peptic and duodenal ulcers.
2. Spinach
Contain high amounts of vitamin K, which can help heal damage done by ulcers. Vitamin K speeds up the healing process and aids in blood clotting.
3. Garlic
Garlic extract has been shown to inhibit H. pylori growth in lab, animal, and human trials. Garlic keeps levels of the Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacterium in check, that can contribute to the development of stomach ulcers. If you don’t like the taste (and lingering aftertaste) of garlic, you can take garlic extract in supplemental form. Garlic acts as a blood thinner, so ask your doctor before taking it if you use warfarin (Coumadin), other prescription blood thinners, or aspirin.
4. Coconut
Coconut is very good for people suffering from stomach ulcers because of its antibacterial qualities. It kills the bacteria that cause ulcers. Moreover, coconut milk and coconut water have anti-ulcer properties. It is suggested to eat the kernel of the tender coconut as well.
5. Bananas
For stomach ulcer treatment, both ripe and unripe bananas are very effective. There are certain antibacterial compounds in bananas that inhibit the growth of ulcer-causing H. pylori. Compounds in dried, unripe bananas increase mucus in the digestive tract, which helps prevent and heal ulcers. Bananas also protect the system by wiping out the acidity of gastric juices. This helps reduce inflammation and also strengthens the stomach lining.
