Accepted Answer

Need to examine: Most stomach ulcers, if you have one, are caused by bacterial infection and are treatable with antibiotics. You ought to see your doctor for an evaluation and proper treatment. Unintentional weight loss is always a matter for concern and warrants seeing a doctor.

Question 3

hi i've got an stomach ulcer and its been 3 weeks what food is good to eat now and what food should i avoid?

Accepted Answer

Ulcer: There is no particular diet that is necessary for an ulcer. You should definitely avoid aspirin and NSAIDs. From a food point-of-view, , you should avoid any food which  you notice gives you troubles. You should quit smoking, and avoid alcohol at least until you&#x27;ve verified the ulcer is healed. Be sure to take your medicine and to follow up with your doctor as advised. Good luck.

Question 4

i use eat a lot and always hunger but 1 year i started to fell severe stomach pain and discomfort in my chest, i could keep my food down, i vomit anything. gi dr diagnosed me with h.pylori & stomach ulcer and treated me but now no appetite, no hunger?

Accepted Answer

: How long ago did you get the treatment for H. pylori related disease?
Have your weight changed a lot since you were done with the treatment?
Are you taking any medication currently?

Question 5

can any doc explain why avoid certain foods when you have a stomach ulcer when they're actually alkalising?

Accepted Answer

Unsure about ?: Actually diet has very little to do in causing stomach ulcer although coffee and tea tend to stimulate more acid production and NSAID should be avoided. I presume you have been checked for H pylori infection.

Question 6

i have a stomach ulcer what can't i eat?

Accepted Answer

Acidic/fatty foods: In researching this question i found many lists of food to avoid that were completely undocumented & questionable- for example, most lists said to avoid cabbage, which is the food most proven to help heal ulcers! we don't have much science to answer this, but most find it beneficial to avoid acidic foods like citrus & coffee, alcohol & fatty foods. If spicy foods irritate then avoid. See comment:.

Question 7

what should i eat if i have a stomach ulcer and what is the best thing to do to make it go away?

Accepted Answer

No food restrictions: If you have a stomach ulcer its important to know if you have an infection with h. Pylori.  This can be determined with a breath test, stool test or endoscopy with biopsy.  If positive for infection treatment is advised.  A potent acid inhibitor e.g. Prilosec or one of its brethren is necessary to help heal the ulcer.  Also, if the ulcer was drug induced then stop taking the offending drug.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Question 9

my friend have a stomach ulcer i want to help her. what foods should not be cooked? no vinegar, right?

Accepted Answer

Ulcers: Generally acidic foods like vinegar, wine, oj, lemon juice, lime juice, tomatoes as well as spicy foods, fried/fatty foods, caffeine/coffee & soda pop exacerbate ulcers. Even milk should have as low fat content as person can tolerate. Hopefully she is taking medication to help heal the ulcer; then she will gradually be able to eat the foods she enjoys again.

Question 10

i believe i have a stomach ulcer and ive been trying to eat but i havent been able to eat a lot. some people have suggested boost but im scared to irritate my ulcer again. do you think i would be able to drink boost? i have the chocolate one atm?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor to ascertain if you have an ulcer. Ulcers are treatable with oral medications. Wish you good health!
