What are some natural ways to help heal stomach ulcers?

I have been checking out ways to relieve soreness my muscles and so has my wife. At one point, we went to an old massuse that used chiropractic techniques as well as many herbal and vitamins. He was somehow able to find that my wife had an ulcer by rubbing her feet (relexology) and then went and pressed on a spot on her stomach that was indeed sore. He said that is an ulcer and if you press right there (how he was & she felt it) that over time it would help her. He did give her a "tinture"? (spelling) kinda was a tea looking and tasting mixture of certain vitamins that he said she was short on (after taking a saliva sample and testing it).\n\nWe have also been looking at massage chairs and found a thermal (heated) massage bed called Ceragem that has infared heat. The bed is great to lay on and also there are attachments that you can put where ever you want and one that you can sit on. The ceragem bed is kinda spendy to buy (I think about $2500) but there is store near us that allows 1 free visit per day with a 40 minute "demo" version. They encourage you to come as many times as you want (once per day). They say that the heat and infared can help with stomach and digestive problems including ulcers. To find a dealer near you to try one out, click on the link and then the map. I honestly prefer the massage of other types of massage chairs better but I do like the strong heat that Ceragem has. I also included a link to see what a foot reflexology chart looks like incase you were curious... I don't know how to recommend a good massuse in your area as honestly there are some that are just ok and some that are just bad ones... good luck. Oh and I know my wife has said that yogurt helps her stomach "settle" some when her ulcers have been bothering her.

it cannot be removed permanently. Most important you need daily supplements of vitamin Bs and take enough rest. You have ulcers because your immune system is weak.  Stay away from fried stuffs. In Chinese terms, fried and spicy food cause heatiness and heatiness will cause ulcers.

here's a few: burning,gnawing,or aching in the abdominal area high or low,pain is sometimes better after eating,then back again 2-3 hrs after eating,may wake you from sleep, occurs daily for week or longer,can go away w/out treatment but unlikely-certain types of ulcers can be helped with antacids.  symptoms can be vague-- reccommend: reduce alchol if you drink,sress relief, also no smoking- if this helps your stomach ache afterwards then u most likely have ulcer and need to follow up with M.D.     LUCK!

I always tell people that i am an alternative medicinal therapist. I deal a lot with this problem, so let's see if we can't sort you out.\nIs the pain a burning sensation? If so you are making to much acid, do you have heartburn? again it's over acidity?\nDO NOT take anymore antacids they will make the problem worse and they can also start the problem off in the first place.\nDoes it only start when you eat fried or spicy foods, if so you may have an ulcer.\n\nDo you have a lot of gas, is your stomach tender to the touch?\nYou could have a peptic ulcer or gastritis.\nTreatment.Herbal teas: German chamomile-thistle-betony-\nTablets: ginseng-goldenseal-\nCider vinegar=2 teaspoons in glass of water 2 to 3 times daily.\nIf my treatment fails go to your GP he will send you to the hospital for tests.Contact me if you need any more advice e-mail alternative@medicine123.wanadoo.co.uk\n\nGloria J Jones (BSYA-SEN)

Check out www.myhomeremedies.com.  Or try organic peppermint oil or licorice.  Not the sugared products.  Hopefully that will settle your stomach.

You might try drinking a half-teaspoon of baking soda in a half-glass of water. That should neutralize some of the acid. But if you truly have acid reflux, you should take something like Zantac (no prescription) to help control the amount of acid in your stomach. Also prevent the reflux by eating smaller meals, by not wearing tight belts, but not lying down after a large meal, etc. \n\nIf the condition persists, you should have it checked out. Several other diseases (ulcers, stomach cancer, etc) can have similar symptoms. Also, if the reflux continues, the acid could eat a hole in your esophagus.

Burning pain is the most common symptom of a peptic ulcer. The pain is caused by the ulcer and is aggravated by stomach acid coming in contact with the ulcerated area. The pain typically may:\n\nBe felt anywhere from your navel to your breastbone \nLast from a few minutes to many hours \nBe worse when your stomach is empty \nFlare at night \nOften be temporarily relieved by eating certain foods that buffer stomach acid or by taking an acid-reducing medication \nCome and go for a few days or weeks

You may have a peptic stomach ulcer, I do and I have pain when I eat and drink most of the time, you should go see your doctor and see if there are any medications you could be on to ease the symptoms. And having a stomach ulcer isn't serious, I just had to change a few things that I ate, like cutting back on spicey foods and sodas.\n\nGood Luck, Hope you're feeling better soon.

*  A burning, aching, gnawing pain between the navel and the breastbone. The pain sometimes extends to the back.\n    * Abdominal pain that can last from a few minutes to a few hours and usually goes away for a while after taking an antacid or acid reducer.\n    * Weeks of pain that comes and goes and may alternate with pain-free periods.\n    * Loss of appetite and weight loss.\n    * Bloating or nausea after eating.\n    * Vomiting after meals.\n    * Vomiting blood and/or material that looks like coffee grounds.\n    * Passing black, tarlike stools or stools containing dark red blood if the ulcer is bleeding.\n\n\nTreatment for peptic ulcer disease involves taking medications that reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach. If an H. pylori infection is present, antibiotics to eliminate the infection can be taken with these medications. Lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, limiting caffeine and alcohol intake, and reducing stress, can help speed the healing of your ulcer and prevent it from recurring.

I think this will help you.\n\n\nWhile the word ulcer can refer to any type of sore or lesion that won't heal, in common usage it typically refers to peptic ulcers, very painful lesions that form in the stomach or intestine. For years, even centuries, ulcers were believed to be caused by stress and/or particular kinds of food and were considered a chronic condition. That is, it was thought that you couldn't 'cure' ulcers, you just had to manage them with antacids, diet - eating only bland food, for example - and lowering your stress levels. The classical stereotype of the overworked Type-A manager would depict him getting off the phone and reaching for antacids as he clutched his midsection. "Oh, my ulcer," he would moan, an indication that the phone call had just contributed to his stress.\n\nBecause the stomach is a highly acidic environment, it was thought that bacteria simply couldn't live there for long. However, in 1982, Robin Warren, an Australian pathologist, proved that patients with chronic ulcers also had colonies of bacteria inhabiting their stomach. Barry Marshall, of the University of Western Australia, took this finding and, working with Warren, located and identified the bacterium in question, which they named Helicobacter pylori.\n\nTheir findings were so contradictory to prevailing conventional wisdom that their work got very little notice, even though it promised a permanent cure to stomach ulcers. In a dramatic display of the validity of their findings, Dr. Marshall deliberately infected himself with Helicobacter pylori and gave himself ulcers, which were then cured by a round of antibiotic treatment. Still, it took the next two decades to overthrow long-held beliefs on the treatment of ulcers, and you will find many laymen today who believe that ulcers are chronic and incurable. In October 2005, Warren and Marshall were awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine, in recognition for their groundbreaking work in the treatment of stomach ulcers.

Drink Pickle Juice. Yuck you say. But it really works great and lasts for quite a while before you get heart burn again. Plus the vinigar in the juice will help other gastric problems too. \n\nTrust me, I am a Pharmisutical Chemist.
