Ive had an ulcer for many months now, about five months ago I was on a couple different prescriptions, one was to line the stomach to give the ulcer a chance to heal and the other was an acid inhibiter. After an entire month of taking them I felt worse off than ever. I had given up coffee, soda, spicey foods, citrus, and nuts on the direction of my doctor. It didnt help. I sort of gave up and went back to swigging liquid antacid as needed. Ive been eating low fat for a couple months and Ive noticed that the incidence of ulcer pain has decreased dramatically. Ive also read that wieght loss can help heal an ulcer as well as low fat eating. This has been a surprising perk of this diet! Ive recently started drinking coffee daily again and it hasnt bothered me at all, a few months ago one cup of coffee would have left me with major pains the next day which would happen for many days.
