Things like pepper soup, grilled fish, suya etc. and stuff. They are heavily spicy and spiced.

Well living healthy means staying off trigger foods. That simple. The moment you start eating them again the pain always comes back. There are a lot of other healthier food alternatives so why stick to the ones that make you uncomfortable?

Thanks sis am grateful. I have listed about 11 things on a paper I Will never put in my mouth again...

I Will get the omeprazole tomorrow. Can I combine the plantain therapy and omeprazole

geekybabe:


Gastritis is mild really. Just take omeprazole, and avoid the triggers. Some food to avoid are
1. Heavily spiced food. Spicy is different from pepperish. Avoid both as much as possible
2. Avoid chocolate or anything that has cocoa has much as possible! Avoid it like plague.
3. Avoid soft drinks, alcohol, and too hot teas. Avoid cofee or drinks with caffeine no matter how little.
4. Grill and boil rather than fry. Stay off crunch snacks, and fried foods.
5. Avoid orange and citrus fruits.

If you avoid this triggers, believe me you can be fine. Check online for other triggers.

Well cabbage juice can cause diarrhea so be careful with it.
Here is a list of food that I still eat and are good for you:
Rice, beans, yam, potatoes, oats, moimoi, bananas, apples, amala, and anything as far as it's not fried or spicy. I blend tomatoes in my stew and it doesn't cause any discomfort. Others might have. Just make a list of what causes pain for you and avoid it.

Thanks for ur response.
But please forgive my ignorance. When ur say heavily spiced food' what do ur mean? Is it too much Maggi...
I use star Maggi and naija pot in my cookings

After so many years of avoiding these foods, have you started taking them or do you still avoid them... Thanks

Hi everyone, I discovered a lot of people have been asking for solutions, remedies and cure for ulcer. I have some tips and advise to give as regards that.

I have had ulcer for almost 6years now, and I can tell u its not been funny. Vomiting, stooling with blood, intense pains overnight, chronic heartburn, etc.

Recently I started a few natural remedies, and I have felt relief that I've never known in my life. And now I know that the end of ulcer is here!

There are a few things u should know. I have seen a lot of doctors, and I can tell u, they all prescribe the same things. Antacids, antibiotics(flagyl, amoxicillin, cimetidine, etc) or a combination of d two with omeprazole tablets (meprasil, rabeprazole, ulcertret, omez, etc). Some prescribe Ulcer kits. Its the same combination( pyrox combi, ulsa-kit, etc). They usually prescribe dis for 2wks or less, depending on the intensity of the pain.

I have taken all this medications a number of times, and though it may provide relief for a while, it doesn't cure the ulcer. The worst part is the adverse effects of taking this strong antibiotics(e.g flagyl) which leads to stomach pain, vomiting, dehydration, loss of appetite and all. Attimes it could get so bad that u just have to stop them. All this things av their own effects on the body, its more complex for us females as I discovered it affects my cycle attimes.

After a while, maybe a month or 2, d pain comes back and u begin the treatment again. Its crazy I tell u.

Anyways, here are a few remedies that every ulcer patient must know especially when pain becomes recurrent:
1. Stop taking fried foods( fried meat or fish, plantain etc) or too oily meals (fried rice).
2. Stay away from spicy foods( suya, pepper soup, etc)
3. Stay away from hard. And crunchy snacks ( plantain chips, potato chips etc)
4. Avoid carbonated drinks! ( Coke, malt, sprite la casera, etc). They cause a lot of pain for an ulcer patient. Take plenty of water instead, or drink youghurt.
5. Avoid mint sweets (lemon plus, peppermint, tom-tom and the likes). Also don't take garri, or rough meals like eba.

Here are some healthy things you should do.
1. Take plenty of water. Take at least a litre of water every morning when u wake up. Thus helps to dilute the acid your stomach may av secreted over nite.
2. Eat swallows more with draw soup, (ewedu, okro, etc less of egusi)
3. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. E.g bananas, apples, watermelon, avocado, cucumber, carrots and cabbage. ORANGES ARE NOT GOOD FOR ULCER PATIENTS.
4. If u can get apple cider vinegar(ACV), its good for heartburns and ulcer too. Just add like 2tablespoons of it into a glass of water. It gives relief. Research just showed dat antacids are not too good for heartburns.
5. Eat in bits. A little at a time, so ur stomach can digest it in bits. Always av snacks like biscuits, banana, with you if u know in case you are hungry.
6. Too much of some nuts, may cause pains. (E.g groudnut, walnut, cashew nuts.) NEVER eat ROASTED CORN. Its rough and can cause the ulcer to bleed, hence causing pain.

I did some research online, and I found a few natural remedies.
1. Grate like 8 unripe plantains in 4-5litres of water in a keg. Let it ferment for at least 48hrs. Take a cup at least 3 or 4 times a day, in the morning afternoon and night, and before u sleep. Its preferable if u take it an hour before meals. I have been using this particular therapy and its working wonders! Take it for like 3weeks or so. It has no side effects that I av seen so far, just adhere to d normal ulcer do's and donts.
2. Cabbage juice has been found to heal ulcers too. I tried it but couldn't tolerate it for long cos it was making me feel like vomiting. Heard its good if u blend with carrot and drink. Its should be taken instantly for best results. Don't store d juice in a fridge. It can make u stool a little, but it worked well when I used it.
3. While this natural remedies are good, it doesn't mean you should stay away from your doctor. Make sure you have a doctor that's monitoring you.

Most of all, its all this things I av written require discipline. There is nothing like a peaceful mind too. Worry less, and stay stress free. Then trust God for a good health cause he is the one who gives health and peace!
I hope i have helped quite a number of people with this. Thanks. I would reply to any questions u have.

Thanks for all the response. I love the way you have been active on the thread. I have read everything from page 1-13. I have been suffering from this thing since last year. I did endoscopy and they said its active gastritis. Please I wish to know, is it worst or lesser than ulcer?

Another thing is about tomatoes stew. is it OK to eat. I don't fry it that much

I have tried to identify some of my trigger like garri lemon orange etc it's really difficult not eating it as garri is one of our major food

I did the plantain stuff today n Will start drinking it in 48hours. Another question is pls can I be taking the cabbage juice n the unripe plantain water together because I bought both items and want to face this thing squarely by God's grace

Thanks for ur time

Probably he tot it was a war of bow and arrow, strongest ke, or he tot they will draw circle and bring out Hitler for a one on one fight. They will just b taken down on arrival.

She must hav acted this in a movie and now has been characterised by that character.

Not so hard to imagine, football uniting Nigeria since amalgamation.

"Every day for the thief, one day for d owner of d house" na waoh for this quote self, how thief go come get every day and d owner one day. Mtchewwww. Infact in our own case, it shall be "everyday for d owner of d house, no day for d thief"........If u call me a greedy fellow so b it.

i wish our naija babes could learn from this....the wedding is so simple and nice....not wasting 2million naira on Hall alone...with other expensesx you are close to 5 million cos u wanna marry.....

Joor Eloping till take over

N5m? I tell u no Naija wedding that has d President in attendance wil cost less than N20m

aaronson:
Why wasn't Mark Zuckerberg invited too?

The Kenya President attended most probably because he knows either d bride or d groom or both and not because d couple met 2ru facebook. I think we are more wasteful than these other African nations, any wedding in Naija that can attract d presence of d President must b damn expensive, at least judging frm d pics.

super 4 was staged in two zones, it started in Kaduna and Uyo zone was the last stage.

I know but no Kaduna team played so if there shud b any sort of home advantage among d 4 teams, then it shud point in d direction of Akwa united.

And for d records, d qualified for continental contest nd hence d super 4 by d virtue of their fed. cup victory, and now they hv won d super 4 at d expense of the league leaders nd d 1st nd 2nd runner ups. them try wella, may b home advantage contributed. Wish all of them well in d continent.

lwkmd. I smell end time.

Inspiring. Didn't really follow that particular edition of Nigerian idol so don't know much about her, speaking from a general perspective, I disagree with d "rejection" tag by op, for d fact she didn't get to d top doesn't necessarily mean she was rejected, she could hv taken d lessons provided by her relative failure and moved on and improved herself, thereby making her a better person today or do u think she is still at that levels she was back then? come to think of it self, who rejected her? I wish her d very best in her "pursuit of maximum glory"

It won't b out of place to say he got to this unfortunate state while on duty for Nigeria, consequently, d country owes him every support he needs. Poor him.

"all that end well, went well".....If where he is now is ok, then d decision by her mum to give him out at 13 was part of d activities to get him to where he is now.

with this show of shame, u can imagine Dele Momodu @23, tot they associate wisdom with old age

Good morning mothers in the house. pls I would like to know the Nigerian food that increases the flow of bre.east milk apart from tea.

I've used Google but I keep seeing some oyibo food not familiar here in Nigeria.
Thanks

A lot of pple r going through hard times. if only our govt will solve d economic problem, the national wealth will go round instead of bin in the hand of a few. may God help u op. THIS TOO SHALL PASS

Op is a scam. account was registered on 6th n topic was created same day.

From op's comment, I can say its 90% a male talking.

And dis name Jessica, I don't trust it. I have received 419 mails on fb with it.

pls stop using God's name to deceive pple. it will be worst for u.

the man is damn right, religion should not b used as a basis for selection so is ethnicity but for d fact that we re not yet a nation-state, u can't avoid issues like this. It springs across all areas of our existence; employment, appointment, etc, if a F.G parastatal employs all Muslims or Christians, questions will b asked, yes, that's where we are. but when leaders will b making statements in that direction, then we are going to remain here.

That cartoon morinho, I don't just know wetin that guy want, always keeping Cech on the bench as if cortious is better than cech.

u ve just displayed your ignorance of d game. Cech is not even better than Cortious unless u re considering his past exploits, it wasn't an easy decision for MOU to take but its one that he has to take considering now and d future. Cech did same to cudicini when he came in, I feel for Cech, he is too good for d bench. he shud leave.

hmmmmmm
