Let me understand you correctly, you left the doctors and came to nairaland where there are Businessmen, students, quacks and illiterates to seek a medical advise. I am impressed with your sense of judgement
I have been to teaching hospitals and they have always prescribed same drugs. I only wanted to see views of people who have suffered it first hand. Thanks.

Were you specifically diagnosed of ulcer or you just assumed it is ulcer?
Yes sir, especially from the symptoms
Re: How Do I Deal With Excruciating Ulcer? by Engrgeneral(m): 5:24pm On Oct 28, 2017
Sorry brother, I can relate because someone around had a similar chronic case. Ulcer is mostly getting chronic as a result of the intestinal wall being very acidic. A solution I can recommend is for you to consume foods that are alkaline in nature. More of vegetables and fruits. But please avoid oranges and pineapples. But you can also use *Edmark Splina* for a better result. God will heal you completely. Using drugs will only create more effects of the side effects

Hi,

I think what you are describing is low stomach acid, check some videos on YouTube.
I thought I had that too, if you can look for digestive enzymes to buy and probiotics like yogurt or the capsules to help digest food.
The Lord will see you through.
The argument of low or high acid seems not settled in medical literature.
You said you thought you had it?

Please I have been battling with ulcer, indigestion for the past 3 years.
This has adversely affected every aspect of my life and reduced my productivity too.

I have been to hospitals or and done several tests. I have taken treatments targeted at eliminating H pylori, all to no avail.

I used to take antacids and stopped when I got no improvements and also read about the side effects.

I have equally used a few home remedies.
I really want to hear real life experiences of people who have dealt with this before as it's causing me excruciating pains.

Major symptoms include bloating; hotness of the stomach, groin, legs, shortness of breath, excessive release of gas, belching etc.
THANKS.

If u're really sure it's ulcer, you can get rid of it with unripe banana - at least one, each night before bed for 2 - 3 wks. Banana forms tiny films that coat the endometria wall. Also, unripe banana has anti-bacterial effects. I got rid of mine that way.

Please I am begging you all. I have spent thousands seeking treatments. I am getting dispirited in life because I can't even work effectively. I wake up each day thinking about it. I would prefer to have Hiv than this.

Kindly help me move this to see if I could get more views please.
my brother suffered severe ulcer for 4 to 5 years if I could remember.


you need to avoid so many things such as groundnut oil (fry and cook with red oil), beer, all kinds of hard drinks and soft drinks(take only amstel), apple, too much pepper, fat food and meats, avoid beverages(take tea with only milk)avoid sugar, sweet fruits such as orange (if you must eat fruit eat chidimma...sorry! Cucumber,


eat more of unripe plantain, it helps in healing the wounds
Initially, it wouldn't be easy avoiding all these, but if you succeed with time you will get OK as long as you are taking the right and proper medication for it.

my brother's ulcer was so severe he couldn't sleep all the time.
I wish you well man.

Those aymptoms you mentioned are similar to many diseases. Hiv/Aids, Kidney disease, etc try to do a proper test before concluding it is ulcer.

It gets worse if I have not eaten and reduces after meals.
This alone is more suggestive of it.

Do you drink water immediately after meals?
Re: How Do I Deal With Excruciating Ulcer? by psychu: 5:50pm On Oct 28, 2017
The pains can be excruciating, only few people understand....

In those bad moments, try original yogurt, it will help relieve the pain before you can take in solid food. If you can't afford it, drink pap, wait a little and eat.

Go for tests to find out exactly the type of ulcer you have, it will help in knowing the treatment that you actually need. Some needs surgery, I hope yours have not gotten to that.

What I discovered that works long term is lifestyle change.

Desists from the following: food with too much pepper, hot meals, any carbonated drink (stick to water, yogurt for now), alcohol specifically is a NO, cigarette, unnecessary FASTING ( you can't afford it). If you must eat beans, cook it yourself, it must be properly cooked.

- You MUST eat regularly in small proportions, eat in between meals, always have things like biscuit (I recommend crackers).
- Breakfast is a MUST and should be done early.
- As much as possible, reduce stress and try to relax.
- If you can afford it, reduce "mamaput" cook your meals or have someone cook for you.
- You must not hold your FART, as embarrassing as it can be, release at will!
- Study your self, those food or activities that aggravate the pains, desists from them.
etc etc.

Pumping yourself with antacid is just to relieve the pain, it does not necessarily heal the ulcer.

according to him, you need to carry out test (h pylori) to dictate the type of bacteria that associates to yours.

He is not around, but I will ask him the names of drugs he used when he comes back tomorrow afternoon.

Buy Gesticid... It's an antacid.... I also used something like Omeprazole and metronidazole.
One is meant to reduce the stomach acid (Gesticid) , the other is to prevent the production of the acid and one is to heal d wounds in the stomach. I've forgotten the prescription but it works like charm .
I like that Gesticid a lot... It relieves the pains instantly . I always carried it handy and took it as soon as feel any itch.... I must confess I abused it as it was d only source of instant relief.

Anyway I'm healed
Did you get Omeprazole and metronidazole in Nigeria?

I have managed peptic ulcer for over 10 years. It was very bad at a point but i got better when I visited a Gastro intestinal tract consultant at the general hospital in Lagos.

1. Avoid peppery food
2. Avoid Spicy food
3. Avoid fried foods
4. Avoid oranges, Apple's Eric basically anything acidic. You have more than enough acid in your stomach already.
5. Avoid carbonated drinks or alcoholic drinks e.g. coke, malt Etc. Take water or zobo Etc.
6. Eat little portions at a time and eat about 5 times a day. ensure you have something to eat at all times
7. You may wan to avoid beans because of heartburn.

For drugs...i used different combinations from omeprazole and meteronidazole..unsure of the sppelling(Flagyl) with various antacids Etc.. but i only felt relieved when the doctor prescribed Nexium Esomeprazole..i take 20mg 2x daily and Gascol..i had the option of taking gaviscon which i I had used before but i stuck with Gascol because it works well for me. I also had to do an endoscopy to be sure of.what i was dealing with.

3 years after this treatment, i hardly take my drugs except for days when i eat late or probably took oranges.

Stress also aggravates the pain...so you need to manage your stress level.

Cold yoghurt gives me relief

Hope this helps!

Sorry to learn about your condition. Really hard to pin-point the root cause of these symptoms sometimes. I would advise against eating unripe bananas/plaintain though...because it is very hard to digest and may worsen the indigestion you currently experience. They could cause a lot of gas and may increase bloating see article below:

https://www.livestrong.com/article/527881-are-green-bananas-better-for-you/

I would not want to suggest any option that would hurt your pocket since you have spent so much so far. The one thing I can suggest is purchasing castor oil and consuming like 2 teaspoons early in the morning only, on an empty stomach. Please do not take castor oil at night, at all! Try it for one week and see the impact. Prolonged use is not suggested. What castor oil does is to help clear up your bowels, so be sure to be in a place where a toilet is available. Further, it helps clean up the lungs and liver, and could help clear up bacteria that give off gas constantly and cause bloating. I really hope this helps...if no significant improvement is noticed after a week, I'd advise you discontinue. Cheers bud!

@Finelinks. I have the exact symptoms you listed. How did you know you've ulcer? Who confirmed this?
Mine started this year.. and it hasn't been easy. I met a gastroenterologist and did series of tests.Helicobacter pylori was not detected. I did endoscopy/biopsy; this confirmed I had esophagitis i.e reflux acid. I was given omeprazole pills. My symptoms subsided for awhile, I then stopped taking it. After a month, it came back and in a very aggressive way. It affected me so much that I stopped going to work. I then did a colonoscopy/biopsy to check my colon and so forth, and ultrasound to check my organs. Everything was fine. The gastroenterologist now gave me strong dosage of pantoprazole. So far.. my stomach pains has stopped but I've now just developed a little heartburn. I feel way better now.

Fruits, vegetables, herbal plants and mushrooms are natural antidotes to stomach acidity. Alkaline supplements had been established to give great relief. Check my signature in case you will like to check one of such Food Supplements that is Alkaline based and enriched with multiple fruits and vegetables.
