HERBAL SOUP TO CURE STOMACH ULCERS BY BABALAWO OBANIFA _ Obanifa extreme documentaries
This work will
document will document one of the herbal
soup available in Yoruba herbal medicine that people suffering from stomach Ulcers
can use to get their selves cure. By Stomach Ulcers within the context of this
work I am referring to Stomach Ulcers, which are also known as gastric ulcers,
are painful sores in the stomach lining. Stomach ulcers are a type of peptic ulcer disease.
Peptic ulcers are any ulcers that affect both the stomach and small intestines.
Stomach ulcers occur when the thick layer of mucus that protects your stomach
from digestive juices is reduced. This allows the digestive acids to eat away
at the tissues that line the stomach, causing an ulcer.
Stomach ulcers may
be easily cured, but they can become severe without proper treatment. According
to Shannon Johnson in her work title ‘ Stomach Ulcers and what you can do about
them’ She said causes of stomach ulcer is traceable to
- an infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)
- long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen
Rarely, a condition known as
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome can cause stomach and intestinal ulcers by
increasing the body’s production of acid. This syndrome is suspected to cause less than 1 percent of all peptic ulcers.
And the most common symptoms include
a burning sensation or pain in the middle of your abdomen between your chest
and belly button. Typically, the pain will be more intense when your stomach is
empty, and it can last for a few minutes to several hours.
Other common signs and symptoms of
ulcers include:
- dull pain in the stomach
- weight loss
- not wanting to eat because of pain
- nausea or vomiting
- bloating
- feeling easily full
- burping or acid reflux
- heartburn, which is a burning sensation in the chest)
- pain that may improve when you eat, drink, or take antacids
- anemia, whose symptoms can include tiredness, shortness of breath, or paler skin
- dark, tarry stools
- vomit that’s bloody or looks like coffee grounds
How are stomach ulcers diagnosed?(source of information use here https://www.healthline.com/health/stomach-ulcer#treatment)
Diagnosis and treatment will depend
on your symptoms and the severity of your ulcer. To diagnose a stomach ulcer,
your doctor will review your medical history along with your symptoms and any
prescription or over-the-counter medications you’re taking.
To rule out H. pylori
infection, a blood, stool, or breath test may be ordered. With a breath test,
you’ll be instructed to drink a clear liquid and breathe into a bag, which is
then sealed. If H. pylori is present, the breath sample will contain
higher-than-normal levels of carbon dioxide.
Other tests and procedures used to diagnose
stomach ulcers include:
- Barium swallow: You drink a thick white liquid (barium) that coats your upper gastrointestinal tract and helps your doctor see your stomach and small intestine on X-rays.
- Endoscopy (EGD): A thin, lighted tube is inserted through your mouth and into the stomach and the first part of the small intestine. This test is used to look for ulcers, bleeding, and any tissue that looks abnormal.
- Endoscopic biopsy: A piece of stomach tissue is removed so it can be analyzed in a lab.

below to learn more about stomach ulcers.
Treatment will vary depending on the
cause of your ulcer. Most ulcers can be treated with a prescription from your
doctor, but in rare cases, surgery may be required.
It’s important to promptly treat an
ulcer. Talk to your doctor to discuss a treatment plan. If you have an actively
bleeding ulcer, you’ll likely be hospitalized for intensive treatment with
endoscopy and IV ulcer medications. You may also require a blood transfusion.
Nonsurgical
treatment
If your stomach ulcer is the result
of H. pylori, you’ll need antibiotics
and drugs called proton
pump inhibitors (PPIs). PPIs block the stomach cells that produce acid.
In addition to these treatments,
your doctor may also recommend:
- H2 receptor blockers (drugs that also block acid production)
- stopping use of all NSAIDs
- follow-up endoscopy
- probiotics (useful bacteria that may have a role in killing off H. pylori)
- bismuth supplement
Symptoms of an ulcer may subside
quickly with treatment. But even if your symptoms disappear, you should
continue to take any medication prescribed by your doctor. This is especially
important with H. pylori infections, to make sure that all bacteria are
eliminated.
Side effects of medications used to
treat stomach ulcers can include:
These side effects are typically
temporary. If any of these side effects cause extreme discomfort, talk to your
doctor about changing your medication.
Surgical
treatment
In very rare cases, a complicated
stomach ulcer will require surgery. This may be the case for ulcers that:
- continue to return
- don’t heal
- bleed
- tear through the stomach
- keep food from flowing out of the stomach into the small intestine
Surgery may include:
- removal of the entire ulcer
- taking tissue from another part of the intestines and patching it over the ulcer site
- tying off a bleeding artery
- cutting off the nerve supply to the stomach to reduce the production of stomach acid
In the past, it was thought that
diet could cause ulcers. We know now this isn’t true. We also know that while
the foods you eat won’t cause or cure a stomach ulcer, eating a healthful diet
can benefit your intestinal tract and overall health.
In general, it’s a good idea to eat
a diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, and fiber.
That said, it’s possible that some
foods play a role in eliminating H. pylori. Foods that may help fight
off H. pylori or boost the body’s own healthy bacteria include:
- broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and radishes
- leafy greens, such as spinach and kale
- probiotic-rich foods, such as sauerkraut, miso, kombucha, yogurt (especially with lactobacillus and Sacharomyces)
- apples
- blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries
- olive oil
Additionally, since people with
stomach ulcers may have accompanying acid reflux disease, it is a good idea to
stay away from spicy and sour foods while an ulcer is healing.
In addition to eating healthy foods,
the following items may help reduce the effects of H. pylori, the
bacteria responsible for many stomach ulcers. However, these supplements are
not intended to replace prescription medication or your current treatment plan.
They include:
- probiotics
- honey
- glutamine (food sources include chicken, fish, eggs, spinach, and cabbage)
Your doctor may also have
suggestions for things you can do at home to relieve discomfort from your ulcer.
If you think you have a stomach
ulcer, call your doctor. Together you can discuss your symptoms and treatment
options. It’s important to get a stomach ulcer taken care of because without
treatment, ulcers and H. pylori can cause:
- bleeding from the ulcer site that can become life-threatening
- penetration, which occurs when the ulcer goes through the wall of the digestive tract and into another organ, such as the pancreas
- perforation, which occurs when the ulcer creates a hole in the wall of the digestive tract
- obstruction (blockage) in the digestive tract, which is due to swelling of inflamed tissues
- stomach cancer, specifically non-cardia gastric cancerTrusted Source
Symptoms of these complications can
include those listed below. If you have any of these symptoms, be sure to call
you doctor right away:
- weakness
- trouble breathing
- red or black vomit or stools
- sudden, sharp pain in your abdomen that doesn’t go away
To prevent the spread of bacteria
that might cause a stomach ulcer, wash your hands with soap and water on a
regular basis. Also, be sure to properly clean all of your food and to cook it
thoroughly as needed.
To prevent ulcers caused by NSAIDs,
stop using these medications (if possible) or limit their use. If you need to
take NSAIDs, be sure to follow the recommended dosage and avoid alcohol while
taking these medications. And always take these medications with food and
adequate liquids.
