Default Ulcers

Hello,

Yes, I've just recently dealt with having ulcers and viral hepatitis.

I was also told to take medication - prilosec.

I decided that I wasn't going to take medication but changed my diet drastically.

I took out of my diet:

pop
caffeine
acidic fruits
tomatoes/tomato sauce
dairy
fried foods
fatty foods
no preservatives

What I did eat for the first month:
Bananas
toast with small amt of butter
jasmine rice
chicken
WATER!!!

Be careful about constipation.

Eat very little but more often. Always keep something in your stomach. Drink at least 60 oz a day of water.

It's been since September 13th when I was diagnosed. I have lost 30 lbs.

Over the last month I have gradually added healthy things to my diet. 2 weeks ago I had a repeat endoscopy and my ulcers have healed and my liver tests are normal. In addition my cholesterol is normal.

My ulcers were NOT h.pylori positive. If you have that bacteria, I would not recommend doing what I did...

Good luck..
