Memmie:
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!

Do u mean you've been using omeprazole for the past 3yrs?

Scholar01:
You really need tests to rule out other conditions that might be causing this. But if it's ulcer, I would highly recommend a daily dose of BANANA. Take at least four per day and try it for a week — believe me, it works like magic (and am talking from personal experience) .

Look at it this way, what do you have to loose? After all bananas have other nutrition benefits. Feel free to share your testimonies (my number is in my signature). All the best bro
