Yes: Your nutrition status needs to be a normal to higher levels to help heal ulcers and wounds. These diseases drain the body and exhaust your immune system, so it's best to have the highest nutritional status you can achieve.

Vitamins and wounds: If you want specific vitamins a, c, e, and zinc are traditionally said to improve wound healing. With that said, the previous answer stating overall good nutrition is correct.
