My dad bought three things in multiples. He bought Pepsi, Tonyís frozen pizza, and the stuff needed to make spaghetti. That was all we ate, and in retrospect, those foods were not good for my brotherís stomach. That was apparently why he needed ulcer treatment, though Iím not sure foods actually cause ulcers. From what I know, some sort of bacteria causes them, but those foods would definitely cause a person to have a lot of pain. My dad changed his grocery buying habits, and my brotherís ulcer treatments didnít have to last very long.
If you are having a lot of pain, you might want to ask your doctor if you need ulcer treatment. You usually know you are having ulcer pain if the pain is sharp and radiates from your stomach area. This can be worse when you have eaten spicy foods, such as Italian or even Mexican dishes, and can be exasperated by drinking things like soda or coffee. If you donít get ulcer treatment when you need it, you can end up with bleeding ulcers and when that happens, things are only going to get worse from there.
Some people try to do their own ulcer treatment by drinking
Pepto when they have pain. That might help with immediate
relief, but it will not help the ulcer heal. There may be
special meds you need to take to get rid of the ulcer, and
you may have to change your diet as a part of ulcer
treatment. You might also be told to exercise to reduce the
amount of stress you are carrying around. Your food choices,
stress levels, and the time you have had your ulcer all
contribute to how much pain you feel each day. Make sure you
listen to your doctor and alter your lifestyle according to
their wishes.
