Ulcers........
🔬Ulcer is not caused by hunger
🔬 Ulcer is not improved by eating plenty of food
🔬People who are light eaters are not the ones more likely to have peptic ulcer
🔬 Drinking milk will not heal your ulcer, it might make it worse
HOW TO EAT WHEN YOU HAVE PUD
🧪Eat small portions at a time instead of large portions at once.
🧪Chew your food properly before you swallow; to exert less stress on your digestive tract.
🧪 Don’t rush your meal; you may increase the intensity of acid secretion and make your symptoms worse
🧪 Don’t eat close to bedtime, unless you will forfeit sleeping at your usual time
🧪Don’t heavy meals as a way to relieve ulcers; this will give you the opposite effect.
🧪Use probiotics; probiotics are not curative agents for ulcers, but they help to lower the microbial load of H. pylori, and this reduces the severity of infection.
Apart from that, for people who overuse antacids, especially for a long period due to delayed ulcer cure, probiotics help to maintain the consistency of good bacteria that may have been tampered with due to overuse of Antacids.
They also help to minimize the side effects of some Antibiotics.
