Fastest Way to Cure Stomach Ulcer
… Continued …
- Glutamine supplement. Glutamine is a type of non-essential amino acid, naturally found in certain foods. Some studies suggest that it might help reduce ulcer-related inflammation, though more research is required to confirm this benefit [3].
- Probiotic supplement. Friendly bacteria (probiotics) may help restore the balance between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria in your digestive system – also, to help minimize side effects from taking antibiotics.
- If necessary, ask your doctor about vitamin C supplement. It’s important to get enough vitamin C for strong immune system. Vitamin C might also work effectively to help treat a bleeding ulcer associated with aspirin use, though this may be still debatable!
- Herbs that might help include DGL-licorice (to protect the stomach lining against NSAIDs), Mastic (to inhibit H-pylori), and Cranberry /Vaccinium macrocarpon (to help treat H-pylori infection).
Again, the effectiveness of many supplements and herbs for stomach ulcer is still debatable. Even some could be dangerous or interfere with certain medications if you take them improperly.
For example, Vaccinium macrocarpon has Salicylic Acid, which could be counterproductive if you’re allergic to aspirin. To keep safe, ask your doctor before taking any herbs or supplements!

There are many factors that can affect and delay your recovery, making your ulcer more difficult to heal –even in a few cases, an ulcer could persist (fail to heal).
One of the main ones is your immune system. Some experts say that the performance of the body immune system might have a role to cause H-pylori induced ulcer – as well as to determine how long it takes to recover from the disease.
Stress and sleep deprivation can weaken your immune system. That’s why you need to manage your stress and sleep well at night! So, a few changes in your lifestyle would help a lot.
