Taboo Food for Ulcer Patients

December 30th, 2009 | Tags: , ,

There are certain foods that cannot be consumed freely by people with stomach ulcer. Milk is one of them.  Although milk is alkaline and neutralizes the acidity of the stomach efficacious, the effect will only last for five minutes.

Since milk contains lactic acid, your stomach will produce acid to digest carbohydrates and proteins contained in milk. If you cannot stand against lactose and most Asian people are like that, avoid the consumption of milk products and processed. In addition, the type of food that can produce gas such as nuts, garlic and onion also can trigger a recurrence of stomach ulcer.

Not only food, daily habits can also increase the gas and acid in the stomach. Among other things, smoking and eating too fast. All these habits lead to entry the air into the stomach, which trigger ulcer.

Note also the consumption of drugs. Drugs containing acetylsalicylic acid can irritate and damage the wall surface in the abdomen. Consult the use of your medications with your doctor, and to be safe, avoid the use of painkillers and swelling such as aspirin, and control your intake of vitamin C.
