Treatment For Peptic Ulcer Disease

Include Foods With Probiotics

The diet for peptic ulcer disease should also include foods with probiotics. It is said probiotics can help reduce the growth of H. pylori. Probiotics are referred to as 'good bacteria' as they are believed to boost the immune system.

Several probiotics that have been studied to treat H. pylori are Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Saccharomyces boulardii. Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are naturally found in the organs of humans and animals. Saccharomyces boulardii, on the other hand, is yeast first extracted from the skins of mangosteen and lychee fruit in the early twentieth century.

When shopping at the supermarket, look for fermented foods such as pickles, olives, sourdough bread, and sauerkraut. The use of dairy products with peptic ulcers is controversial. However, some of the products like yogurt, kefir (made from fermented cow's milk), and cottage cheese are thought to help with the condition since they are good sources of probiotics. A recipe you can try is kimchi, a dish consisting of fermented vegetables.
