Peptic Ulcer (Also see Gastritis)

Healthy eating is of primary importance.  Drink plenty of pure filtered water and increase your intake of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, and complex whole grains, as well as organic, free-range meats, poultry, and wild-caught fish.

Avoid all commercial, processed, fried, and nonorganic food, as well as alcohol, coffee, sugars, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, food dyes, milk and dairy products, wheat and wheat products, and refined carbohydrates. Do not eat saturated, trans-, hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated fats and oils. Instead choose from virgin coconut butter/oil, extra virgin olive oil, high lignin flax seed oil, and unrefined hemp seed, walnut, and sunflower oils. Minimize your intake of citrus fruits and spicy foods, both of which can aggravate peptic ulcers.

To reduce symptoms, eat small meals throughout the day, rather than following the traditional three large meals per day routine.

In addition, have yourself screened for potential food allergies and sensitivities and avoid those foods for which you test positive.
