Gastro-duodenal ulcers are ulcers in the stomach or small intestine that are painful for the patient. Some people do not know they have a peptic ulcer, while others will experience many unpleasant symptoms. Bananas can be an effective natural remedy for symptomatic relief of peptic ulcers. Even eating bananas also helps prevent stomach-duodenal ulcers in the first place.

Steps

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

1. 

   Eat 3 bananas a day. A healthy diet with 3 bananas helps prevent ulcers and reduce pain caused by ulcers. Just eat banana, use banana smoothie or enjoy bananas in whatever form you like. Bananas help reduce inflammation thanks to their high content of potassium, magnesium, manganese, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin C and folate. According to some studies, bananas also contain many enzymes that help prevent the growth of bacteria that cause stomach ulcers.
   • You should eat 3 bananas a day as soon as you feel the symptoms of the ulcer. Continue to eat 3 bananas per day until symptoms subside.

2. 

   
   
   Combine bananas with other healthy foods. Combining banana with a healthy lifestyle increases the ability to prevent ulcers. Besides bananas, you can add some other non-acidic fruits like kiwis, mangoes and papaya to your diet. Also, try to eat lightly boiled vegetables like broccoli or carrots. You should also eat plenty of leeks, onions, oats, whole wheat and whole grains.
   • These foods are rich in vitamins and help ulcers heal.
   • Bananas are high in carbohydrates, so combining them with healthy fats and protein will help prevent high / low blood sugar.

3. 

   
   
   Avoid acidic fruits. Oranges, peaches, berries, and grapefruit are acidic fruits. Acidic fruit will increase stomach acid and stimulate ulcers by breaking down the mucous membranes in the stomach. Instead, eat fruit that is not acidic.

4. 

   
   
   Cook vegetables and avoid raw vegetables. Raw vegetables, especially corn, lentils, pumpkins, and olives can be acidic and can stimulate stomach ulcers.

5. 

   Limit alcohol consumption to 2 cups per day. Alcohol can interact with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria that cause ulcers, so drinking too much can promote stomach ulcers. To reduce alcohol intake, drink slowly or let a friend or family member know that you will only drink 2 cups a day to reduce ulcers.
   • Do not drink alcohol on an empty stomach to avoid irritating peptic ulcers.

6. 

   Cut down on coffee. Many people believe that drinking coffee can cause ulcers (although it has not been medically proven). The acidity in coffee can cause an upset stomach. In fact, any caffeinated beverage can irritate an ulcer if you're suffering from an ulcer. Gastro-duodenal ulcers can be reduced if you limit your coffee intake.

7. 

   Avoid smoking. Like alcoholic beverages, smoking also causes stomach ulcers by interacting with the Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria that cause ulcers. Smoking increases your risk of ulcers. If you smoke heavily, you should try to gradually reduce the frequency of smoking each day.

8. 

   Consider taking Acetaminophen instead of Aspirin. If you have headaches or other conditions that require pain relievers, you should consider switching to Acetaminophen.Aspirin, like alcohol and tobacco, promotes stomach ulcers, especially in people with H. pylori bacteria in the stomach.
   • Consult your doctor before switching to another pain reliever.

Method 2 of 3: Maximize the efficiency of the banana

1. 

   Peel, dry, crush and drink bananas. This will enhance the effectiveness of the treatment of peptic ulcers. Dried bananas contain sitoindosides that help increase the production of mucus in the digestive tract, thereby helping to prevent and heal ulcers. Unripe bananas can promote intestinal cell growth. Finally, dried bananas also contain polysaccharides - substances commonly found in anti-ulcer drugs.

2. 

   Start a natural treatment by peeling off an unripe banana peel. Use your hands to gently remove or use a knife to cut off the tip of an unripe banana, then peel it down.

3. 

   Cut the peeled banana slices (about 3 mm each) and dry. Dry by drying bananas on a baking tray for 7 days or baking at 76oC for 5 hours.

4. 

   Use a mortar and pestle to grind the dried banana into a fine powder. If you don't have a pestle or a mortar, you can put the banana in a plastic bag, then use a roll or other heavy object to crush the banana.

5. 

   Mix 2 tablespoons of mashed banana with 1 teaspoon of honey. Drink this mixture 3 times per day, morning, afternoon and evening. You can add milk or another drink to the mixture if you like. advertisement

Method 3 of 3: Determine if you have a peptic ulcer

1. 

   Determine if your stomach is vulnerable. People who smoke and / or drink a lot of alcohol are more likely to develop peptic ulcers. Alcohol reduces mucous membranes and increases acidity in the stomach, meanwhile, smoking increases the risk of ulcers in people with pre-existing stomach bacteria. Spicy foods have been blamed for peptic ulcers in the past, but they are not.
   • You may also be prone to a hereditary stomach ulcer, take regular aspirin or be over 50 years old.

2. 

   Recognize the symptoms of a peptic ulcer. Mild symptoms of a peptic ulcer include stomach pain and burning between meals or in the evening, bloating, heartburn, and nausea. In severe cases, you have black stools, weight loss, severe pain or vomiting blood.

3. 

   Understand medical treatments. Gastro-duodenal ulcers are caused by the H. pylori bacteria in the stomach. If you experience any serious symptoms, you should go to the emergency department immediately. If symptoms are mild and persistent, you should see your doctor. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics and / or stomach acid reducers to treat ulcers. advertisement

• Banana therapy cannot replace medicine. You should see your doctor if you suspect you have a peptic ulcer.
