How to ease an ulcer attack

Ulcer pains are unexplainable; the literal gut-ripping torment caused by the Pylori bacteria often leaves its victims traumatized and helpless. Although its prevalence among the Nigerian populace is still uncertain, yet some Nigerians living with ulcer have various ways of dealing with it. Here are some:

Follow a diet plan: Just as people seeking to lose a couple of pounds are following a specific diet plan alongside their workout routine, ulcer patients also need to diet to curb any future attacks. Be conscious of what foods cause irritation or discomfort and avoid them. Most importantly, avoid skipping meals!

Up your fibre consumption: Fibre foods like wheat and oatmeal are known to speed up the healing process of the walls of the stomach or duodenum affected by the ulcer. So, when making a list of food items to purchase, include foods like bananas, oatmeal, cabbage, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc.

Cut the smoke/drink chain: If you’re a recreational smoker or an avid drinker, now is really not the time to indulge. Cutting down on these habits helps because the porous gases caused by smoking contribute to the potency of the ulcer bacteria.

Drink water, not milk: Although one of the earliest treatments of ulcer was taking a lot of milk, new studies have shown that lactose components present in milk cause bloating and increases gases in the body. As an alternative, take a lot of water. Drinking enough water, especially when bothered with the symptoms of ulcer, helps to relieve the pain.
