Man - those are awful! I have had an ulcer two times! Cut out anything that is acidic; citrus fruits, tomatoes, hot sauce, and the like.

Also, cut out all soda pop! Only take acetaminophen for pain and only take this after having eaten a meal first. This may take quite a while to heal - like possibly 6 to 8 weeks!

Baby yourself and don't eat these culprit foods for a long while. After your symptoms are gone for a week or so, you can re-introduce these foods in limited amounts, being alert to any potential problems. I never take pain reliever on an empty stomach any longer.

I don't drink pop any longer, either. Good luck! I know ulcers are awful!

Basically, you want to avoid foods that trigger acid production, and therefore you will avoid symptoms. This may vary between people, but here are common culprits: alcohol spicy foods (peppers, chili, etc. ) citrus fruits tomatos/tomato products (ketchup, pasta sauce, etc.) caffeine (coffee, pop, tea, chocolate, etc. ) fatty foods carbonated drinks Good things to possibly include: Lean meat in small portions oats, etc. ) Vegetables (broccoli, carrots, potatos) Fruit Lots of water Like I said, it varies between people, because I knew someone whose culprit was bananas, even though they are considered to be a safe food. Everytime she ate a banana, she was sure to have a flare-up.

It may also be helpful to avoid smoking, aspirin, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen. Eat smaller, more frequent meals, chew your food slowly, and avoid laying down right after eating. Though a bit controversial, something like 75% of ulcers are related to a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori, which weakens to protective mucous lining of the stomach, making it easer for acid to sneak in and destroy that lining.

It is reasonable to expect from your doctor a prescription for antibiotics, as well as acid-suppressing and stomach protecting medications.

Avoid things with lots of acid Coffee, citric fruit juices. Avoid eating highly fatty foods like bacon, sausage, fried foods, french fries, etc. Fats take extra acid to break down, and they're acidic in themselves. Bland will be your friend, like mashed potatoes (not too much butter), chicken soup, cooked vegetables.

Think soft, think bland. Jello is a good thing, bananas are okay. I've had an ulcer and it was no fun, but eating right and taking the medication helped me a lot.

Avoid soft drinks, they are hard on your stomach, as are alcoholic beverages and anything with Lots of Salt. Salt is very hard on your stomach. Hot tea is soothing and not nearly as acidic as coffee.

I'm surprised your doctor didn't give you a list of approved foods and foods to avoid. If he/she didn't, it may have been an oversight. Call the doctor's office and ask if they have a list of foods to eat, foods to avoid that they could put in the mail to you.

2 I'm surprised that your doctor didn't talk about specific foods with you when he/she diagnosed you. If your doctor isn't available, you may want to speak with a registered dietician for this kind of information.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
