Stomach ulcers are painful ulcers located inside the stomach or small intestine. Some people who suffer from stomach ulcers don't even know they have them, but others will experience some unpleasant symptoms. If you do have symptoms, bananas can be an effective natural remedy for stomach ulcers. Bananas can even help prevent stomach ulcers.

To step

Method 1 of 3: Using bananas and other foods to prevent stomach ulcers

1. Eat three bananas a day. Adding three bananas to a healthy diet can help prevent ulcers and reduce pain from pre-existing ulcers. You can just eat the bananas, add them to a smoothie, or eat them any other way you like. Bananas are effective because they are high in potassium, magnesium, manganese, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin C and folic acid. Some studies show that they contain a large amount of a certain enzyme that slows the growth of the bacteria that cause stomach ulcers.
   • It is recommended to start eating three bananas a day immediately if you notice the symptoms of an ulcer. Continue to eat three bananas a day until symptoms abate.
2. Combine bananas with other healthy foods. By not only eating bananas but also maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you are more likely to prevent stomach ulcers. In addition to bananas, you should also start eating other non-acidic fruits, such as kiwis, mangoes and papayas. Also try to eat lightly cooked vegetables, such as broccoli or carrots. Also eat more leeks, onions, oats, wheat and whole grains.
   • These foods are high in vitamins and will help your ulcer heal faster.
   • Bananas are high in carbohydrates. So, combining them with healthy fats and proteins can help prevent very high or very low blood sugar.
3. Avoid acidic fruits. Sour fruits include oranges, peaches, berries and grapefruits. The acid in these fruits will increase the amount of stomach acid and can irritate ulcers by affecting the lining of the stomach. So try to eat non-acidic fruits.
4. Cook your vegetables and don't eat them raw. Raw vegetables can be sour, especially corn, lentils, winter squashes, and olives. Remember that acidic foods can irritate stomach ulcers.
5. Drink only a few alcoholic drinks a day. Excessive alcohol consumption, or more than a few drinks per day, can even promote the development of stomach ulcers. The alcohol reacts with the Helicobacter pylori bacteria (H. pylori), the bacteria that cause stomach ulcers. To reduce your drinking, try to slow down or tell a friend or loved one that you are only drinking two more drinks a day so as not to aggravate your ulcers.
   • Never drink alcohol on an empty stomach as this will irritate stomach ulcers.
6. Drink less coffee. Many people believe that coffee can cause stomach ulcers, even though medical studies show no link. However, the acid in coffee can contribute to an upset stomach. In fact, any drinks containing caffeine can irritate pre-existing stomach ulcers. Drinking less coffee can make your ulcer less painful.
7. Do not smoke. Smoking, like drinking, can promote stomach ulcers because the substances in tobacco react with the Helicobacter pylori bacteria (H. pylori), the bacteria that cause stomach ulcers. Smoking increases your chances of developing a stomach ulcer. If you are a heavy smoker, try to gradually cut down on smoking each day.
8. Consider using acetaminophen instead of aspirin. If you suffer from headaches or have other complaints that require you to take painkillers, consider switching to paracetamol. Just like smoking and drinking, aspirin promotes the development of stomach ulcers. This is especially true in people who already have H. pylori bacteria in their stomach.
   • Talk to your doctor about switching to a different pain reliever.

Method 2 of 3: Make sure bananas work as effectively as possible

1. Peel, dry, crush and drink bananas. With this you can make the most effective remedy for stomach ulcers. Dried bananas contain sito indosides, which help increase the amount of mucus in the digestive tract. This in turn helps prevent new ulcers and heal existing ulcers. Unripe bananas can promote the growth of new cells in the digestive tract. In addition, dried bananas contain polysaccharides, just like anti-ulcer medicines do.
2. Peel the bananas to start your natural treatment. It is important to use an unripe banana. You can peel the unripe banana with your hands by gently breaking the top part and peeling the skin down, or use a knife to cut the top part and then peel the skin down.
3. Cut the peeled bananas into 3 mm thick slices and dry them. Dry the slices out by placing them on a baking tray and leaving them in the sun for 7 days, or by putting them in the oven for five hours at a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius.
4. Use a mortar and pestle to grind the dried bananas into a fine powder. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can try putting the banana in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin or other heavy object to crush the banana.
5. Mix two tablespoons of crushed banana with one tablespoon of honey. Eat this mixture three times a day: in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening. You can add milk or any other liquid to the mixture if you wish.

Method 3 of 3: Determine if you have stomach ulcers

1. Determine if you are prone to stomach ulcers. If you smoke and / or drink a lot of alcohol, you are more prone to stomach ulcers. Alcohol can thin the lining in your stomach, causing more stomach acid to enter your stomach. People who already have H. pylori bacteria in their stomach are at higher risk of stomach ulcers if they smoke. It was once thought that stomach ulcers were caused by spicy food, but this is not the case.
   • You may also be prone to stomach ulcers if they run in your family, if you take aspirin regularly, or if you are over 50.
2. Watch for the symptoms of a stomach ulcer. Mild symptoms of an ulcer include burning pain in the stomach between meals or at night, bloating, heartburn and nausea. In extreme cases, there may be black stools, weight loss, severe pain or vomiting of blood.
3. Understand ways to treat stomach ulcers medically. Stomach ulcers are caused by a bacteria in the stomach called H. pylori. If you have one or more severe symptoms, go to the emergency room right away. If your symptoms are mild and persist, make an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor will likely prescribe antibiotics and / or antacids to treat the ulcers.
