Causes of ulcers
Improper nutrition can provoke an inflammatory process.
There are many causes of ulcers, which is why it is quite difficult to treat.
Indeed, for a successful result, it is necessary not only to relieve pain and relieve inflammation, it is necessary to eliminate all factors that provoke the inflammatory process. They can be like this:
- uncontrolled reproduction of Helicobacter pylori bacteria that have entered the body;
- side effects of medications taken in large quantities;
- being under stress;
- poor nutrition;
- alcohol in large quantities;
- smoking, other factors.
Researchers have found that people with blood type I (0) are at risk of ulcers. If we analyze the spread of the disease by gender, then it must be said that in men the ulcer appears more often.
The most important reason for the development of ulcers is considered to be infection by Helicobacter pylori; these bacteria are found in all patients with ulcers and gastritis. So for successful healing, effective antibacterial therapy is necessary. Today, research is underway to develop such an effective remedy.
Forbidden fruits
If an ulcer has affected the stomach, you should not eat fruits that have an aggressive effect on the mucous membrane of the digestive organs. The following fruits have this effect:
- citrus fruits (due to the ability to provoke allergic reactions, due to the large amount of acid in the composition);
- grapes (due to the ability to stimulate peristalsis and cause fermentation);
- kiwi, peaches, melon (due to the large amount of sugars and fruit acids).
Other fruits can be consumed, but always in limited quantities. Eating too much fruit of any kind is sure to cause harm.
Recipes and uses of potatoes for ulcers
Subject to the principles of dietary nutrition for illness.
Patients with stomach ulcers can eat potatoes boiled in pieces, mashed, stewed, or made into steamed pancakes. But it is best to use potato juice, since it is believed that more beneficial elements are retained in the raw root vegetable. To prepare a folk medicine for ulcers, you need to select a large root vegetable, wash it, peel it, cut it and put it through a juicer. The resulting juice should be drunk immediately after preparation, since after 10 minutes its beneficial properties will decrease.
Proponents of alternative treatment recommend that patients begin ulcer therapy with one small spoon of juice, which should be drunk 20 minutes before a meal. If no negative effects occur, then the dosage is increased to 2 tsp. Ultimately, the dose should be 100 g. The duration of the therapeutic course is 1 month, after which a break is taken for 7 days and treatment is resumed.
Already after the first course, patients observe improvements in their condition. They are no longer bothered by painful sensations, nausea, belching, and heartburn go away. It will be possible to completely get rid of the accompanying symptoms with the help of 2 courses. However, it is worth understanding that potato juice can only be used to treat ulcers as an additional medicine to the main treatment with pharmaceutical drugs recommended by the attending physician.
Allowed fruits
Bananas do not irritate the gastric mucosa.
You can eat fruits that do not irritate the mucous membranes. These include the following:
- banana;
- avocado;
- pear;
- apple;
- plum.
When choosing which fruits you can eat if you have a stomach ulcer, you must remember that they should not have the following effects:
- cause fermentation;
- provoke allergies;
- be a rich source of sugars;
- actively influence intestinal motility.
You can eat any berries, most importantly in limited quantities.
Can you eat potatoes if you have a stomach ulcer?
Patients who have been diagnosed with ulcerative lesions of the stomach and duodenum must adhere to a therapeutic diet.
The presence of starch has a positive effect on tissue regeneration.
Only with the right diet will it be possible to completely overcome the disease and quickly get rid of the accompanying painful symptoms. Otherwise, treatment will be useless, and the ulcer will begin to progress. Therefore, the patient is given a diet and a list of prohibited and permitted foods for ulcers. Potatoes are one of the few vegetables that a patient with stomach disease can eat. The nutritious and tasty vegetable is famous for its beneficial properties, but potato juice has greater benefits for the human body, which representatives of traditional and folk medicine often recommend as a cure for ulcers.
Potato drink
The liquid squeezed out of potatoes helps slow down the secretion of hydrochloric acid by the stomach and creates a protective film on the walls. As a result of this, food entering the digestive system does not injure the already damaged mucous membrane. Freshly squeezed potato tuber juice relieves burning sensation in the esophagus, improves the functioning of the pancreas and intestines, and also accelerates the productivity of enzymes that are important for normal food digestion. In addition, a drink made from root vegetables accelerates the regeneration of mucous membranes, stops the inflammatory process, eliminates pain and has a detrimental effect on pathogenic microorganisms.
With regular consumption of potato juice, rapid healing of ulcers and improved peristalsis activity are noted. At the end of the therapeutic course using a potato drink, patients feel significantly better, pain disappears, metabolism returns to normal and appetite appears.
Features of eating apples
Baked apples are very healthy.
Apples are good for almost everyone. People with ulcers can eat them. These fruits bring many benefits:
- are a source of vitamins and minerals;
- contain pectin, which has a healing effect on the gastric mucosa;
- do not provoke allergies.
We must remember that some varieties contain excess acid, which has a destructive effect on the mucous membrane.
Therefore, you need to choose sweet varieties and do not forget to cut off the peel to reduce the possible negative impact.
If the ulcer is in the acute stage, then you should not eat fresh apples. But baked ones will be an excellent and healthy dessert. You can't give up apples. You can include them in a variety of dishes: from salads to stuffing for baked poultry.
Proper consumption of apples will never cause the situation to worsen.
Eating pears
Pears have many vitamins.
The rules for eating pears are similar to the rules for eating apples. You can always eat them, you just need to monitor the condition, and if there is an exacerbation, bake the pears.
It is also better not to eat the peel. Fresh fruits are first peeled and then eaten. It is imperative to include pears in your diet, because they are a source of vitamins, the beneficial effects of which can hardly be overestimated:
- Vikasol (K);
- Group B;
- Nicotinic acid (PP);
- Carotenoids (A);
- Ascorbic acid (C), other vitamins in small quantities.
Pears contain useful microelements:
Composition and benefits
Raw potatoes are a storehouse of vitamins, macro- and microelements. It is dominated by potassium, vanadium, vitamin C, nicotinic acid, chlorine and phosphorus. The product also contains tocopherol, thiamine, sulfur, magnesium, lysine, carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Doctors also classify potatoes as healthy vegetables because they contain minerals, dietary fiber, folic acid, beta-carotene, vegetable protein and protein. Thanks to this composition, the root vegetable has the following healing qualities:
- Increases performance, adding vigor and strength to a person.
- Reduces high levels of acidity of digestive juice. This property is especially important for patients with gastritis and peptic ulcers, in which there is a high concentration of acid.
- Helps remove “bad cholesterol” from the blood.
Bananas in the diet of ulcer patients
Bananas have an excess of sugars.
This overseas fruit causes some concern when eaten.
After all, the body of people living in harsh climates is not initially adapted to exotic things.
However, banana is still an exception. The harm of this fruit is only in excess of sugars.
Therefore, overweight people should eat bananas little by little. But for ulcer sufferers, this is perhaps one of the healthiest fruits.
According to scientists, banana has a depressing effect on the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. But it is these bacteria that contribute to the appearance and development of ulcers.
The soft consistency of the fruit allows the eaten fruit to have an enveloping effect on the mucous membrane. The rich potassium content in banana helps restore the loss of this trace element after taking diuretics.
Features of consuming persimmons
Persimmon is one of the fruits that ulcer sufferers can eat without fear, because the amount of fruit acids in it is negligible. At the same time, persimmon is capable of destroying dangerous microbes; it saturates the body with potassium, iron, and copper.
The only limitation is to exclude unripe fruits. They contain too many binders. The most useful are considered to be unpollinated persimmons, which can be recognized by the absence of seeds and light pulp.
Basic principles of a balanced diet
A nutritionist will help you plan your diet correctly.
The main condition for good health with an ulcer is a balanced diet.
Fruits are needed, but we must not forget about moderation and the consumption of animal proteins. In their absence, it is not difficult to drive yourself to exhaustion. After all, proteins are the main building material for cells.
It is advisable to consult a doctor - a nutritionist who can competently create a diet for a patient with an ulcer. All healthy foods must be balanced. They must be skillfully combined in the right quantity.
It is necessary to adhere to the recommendations of experts related to the time of day that is optimal for eating fruits. For example, you shouldn’t eat them during the day.
Best in the mornings and evenings, combined with meat or fish. Fruits can be included in light snacks. In any case, we must remember that baked fruits will bring more benefits than fresh ones. People with ulcers should always remember this.
Salad with turkey and rice
