If you prefer food (or nutritional supplements) as a strategy, you may want to consider :
- Eating foods that are high in antioxidants (i.e.blueberries, tomatoes, and bell pepper), flavonoids (i.e.apples, onions, garlic, and tea), and B-vitamins (i.e. almonds, beans, and dark leafy greens)
- Reducing red meat consumption
- Avoiding foods containing refined white flour, sugar, and trans-fats (usually found in commercially baked goods)
- Avoiding drinks that may irritate the stomach (i.e. coffee, alcohol, and carbonated drinks)
- Cooking with healthy oils, such as olive oil or vegetable oil
- Reducing stress by doing relaxing activities, such as meditation and yoga,
- Supplementing your diet with a probiotic and a daily multivitamin containing vitamins A, C, E, the B-vitamins, and trace minerals (i.e., magnesium, calcium, zinc, and selenium)
If you have been diagnosed with ulcers or if you think you may have them, you may want to consider discussing your symptoms with a healthcare provider. By working together, you and your provider can develop a treatment plan that meets your needs.
Here's hoping that, in time, the ulcers are the sore losers!
