Ulcers often go undetected and in fact only 20 per cent patients seek medical treatment for this affliction. How can you tell if you have one? Symptoms include a burning pain, felt anywhere from your navel to your breastbone, which may last from a few minutes to many hours and comes and goes for a few days or weeks. It gets worse on an empty stomach, tends to flare up at night and can be temporarily relieved by eating certain foods that buffer stomach acid or an acid-reducing medication. You can help yourself by cutting out smoking, alcohol, dairy, coffee and aerated drinks. Milk, commonly believed to help this condition, actually harms it. Containing lactic acid, it further erodes your stomach lining and aggravates ulcers. Any relief milk provides is deceptive and it should be carefully avoided. Eat a fibre and Vitamin A rich diet including fruits with their skins on.
Homeopathy offers excellent treatment for peptic ulcers. It not only heals ulcers but also removes the general predisposition towards them.
MNC executive, Mr Radhakrishnan, was a typical "Type A" personality, highly driven, hard-working, diligent and sensitive. A workaholic, his irregular sleeping and eating habits took a toll on his health and he came to us with peptic ulcers after popping antacids proved ineffective. A detailed case study revealed that his lifestyle was at the root of the problem, so along with medication, Nux Vomica, we prescribed certain behavioural modifications. As a result, he has fully recovered from his condition and is a healthier, happier man today.
