A member asked:

Straight up lemon juice for nsaid related ulcers. good or bad, why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bad: I would advise against drinking it. Straight up lemon juice will irritate your stomach lining which has already been affected by NSAID related ulcers. You may have more bleeding and/ or pain.

Dr Jacobson and another doctor agreed
