Natural ulcer remedies?

Ulcers can really eat at you. They typically occur in the lining of the top of the small intestine, the duodenum (duodenal ulcers), or the stomach (peptic ulcers). Common culprits of stomach ulcers include the Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria and prolonged use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen. To learn more about ulcers, check out the Go Ask Alice! Q&A Ulcers [2] in the General Health [3] archives. Although many individuals take prescription medicines to treat their ulcers, many have sought relief for ulcers by incorporating or eliminating certain foods from their diets or taking nutritional supplements and herbs. It is, however, crucial to note that herbal supplements aren't regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Consequently, people tend to have inconsistent and unreliable experiences with them. In cases where herbal supplements are used to treat ulcers, it?s recommended that they aren't used as the primary method of care (more on this later!). Before you incorporate any of these natural remedies into your routine, it?s best that you talk with your health care provider to determine the appropriate treatment for you.
