So I have an ulcer and have been doing some "treatments" for about 2 1/2 months now. I feel better most of the time but then something will trigger an attack again and I feel like I must not be healing the ulcer at all if I can have such a bad attack. The most recent one was this weekend, lasted for 2 whole days(longest I've had), nothing much would help. I still don't feel great today. I think this one was set off by eating a bite of something with garlic in it.
I've stopped caffeine completely,(I was drinking 2-4 cups of coffee a day) stopped eating anything spicy, greasy. I started taking extra virgin pine nut oil, aloe vera juice, licorice root, fish oil capsules, coconut oil capsules, a b complex, tried to eat more cabbage although I haven't done great with that, eating more banana's and potato skins which are supposed to have something that helps heal the mucos lining of the stomach...
My mom also has the exact same thing going on, kind of strange, and she's tested positive for h-pylori. I most likely also have it, thinking I should get the test done. But I'm against traditional medicine and do not want to do antibiotics or the regimen of antacids and inhibitors that they prescribe. I have taken some pepcid during a bad attack and it does help a little.
Anyway, what else can I do to help heal?
