I was reading an article on ulcer and people suffering from the condition and I discovered how painful and worrisome such condition could be. But let's discuss on foods to eat as an ulcer patients.

Stomach ulcers are open sores that develop within the lining of your stomach. Current diet recommendations are now based on research that certain foods may have ingredients that fight against the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, a main cause of ulcers.

CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS FOR ULCERS
In the majority of all ulcer cases, the cause of ulcers can be linked to a bacterial infection known as a
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) as well as the chronic use of over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen.

What To Eat If You Have A Stomach Ulcer  ........
Since H. pylori bacteria is now known to be an important cause of ulcer formation, research has shown what foods may have a role in fighting against an infection. In addition to taking the antibiotics and acid-blocking medications recommended by your doctor for your ulcer treatment, eating these foods may also be helpful against the ulcer-causing bacteria:
• cabbage
• apples
• blueberries
• blackberries
• strawberries
• cherries
• carrots
• leafy greens, such as spinach
• probiotic-rich foods, such as yogurt, sauerkraut, and
• olive oil and other plant-based oils
• honey
• garlic
• decaffeinated green tea.
