The mucus layer and alkalizing bicarbonate prevent the stomach’s hydrochloric acid from eating away the stomach lining. This creates a weak spot called a peptic ulcer. Another reason an ulcer can form is due to the Helicobacter pylori bacteria, which can be eliminated by taking an antibiotic and/or natural and helpful bacteria. Liquid Acidophilus-bifus prevents the bacterial infection. Antacids should not be taken because they suppress the stomach acid formation and cause digestive problems. Stomach acid is needed for the digestion of proteins and liquefaction of food. It also provides absorption of vitamins and minerals and also note that long term use of antacids can cause mineral deficiency.
Recommended foods and supplements:
Fiber: Oats aid in repairing the ulcer.
Vitamin K: Leafy green vegetables and cabbage juice aid in healing.
Yogurt: Contains friendly bacteria.
Zinc: Heals the digestive tract. 30mg daily
Vitamin C: Retards Helicobacter pylori bacteria growth. 100mg daily
Acidophilus-bifus: Contains 4 billion active organisms. Liquid form, 2x daily.
Slippery Elm: Coats the stomach lining. 500mg capsules or lozenges 3x daily.
Mastic Gum: Heals ulcers. 500mg 3x daily.
Research shows that mastic gum impaired ulcers in 80% of people who used Mastic Gum.
