Gastric Ulcer - #18414
For the past few months, I’ve been dealing with terrible stomach pain, especially after eating. At first, I thought it was just acidity, but then I started feeling this burning sensation deep in my stomach, and sometimes, I even feel nauseous. I finally got a check-up, and the doctor said I have a gastric ulcer. I had no idea what that meant, but he explained it’s a sore in the stomach lining. I want to understand—how does Ayurveda view gastric ulcers? Does Ayurveda believe there are specific imbalances that cause a gastric ulcer? My doctor said stress and spicy food can make it worse, but I’ve been eating the same way for years. Why would I suddenly develop a gastric ulcer now? I was also told that H. pylori bacteria can cause a gastric ulcer. Does Ayurveda have natural ways to fight this bacteria without antibiotics? Are there herbs or remedies that can heal the stomach lining and prevent a gastric ulcer from getting worse? The biggest problem for me is that I can’t eat properly anymore. Even small meals trigger pain. I’ve already reduced spicy and fried foods, but I still feel discomfort. What Ayurvedic diet would you recommend to help heal a gastric ulcer? Are there specific foods I should eat daily to strengthen my stomach? At night, my gastric ulcer pain gets worse. I read that digestion slows down while sleeping. Could that be making my symptoms worse? Does Ayurveda suggest any nighttime remedies to prevent stomach pain from a gastric ulcer? I don’t want to rely on acid-blocking medications forever. How can Ayurveda help treat a gastric ulcer from the root cause? Are there long-term lifestyle changes that can prevent it from coming back?

Gastric Ulcer Symptoms - #17139
For the past few weeks, I’ve been dealing with some uncomfortable stomach symptoms, including a burning sensation in my stomach, bloating, and occasional nausea. After visiting my doctor, I was diagnosed with a gastric ulcer, which occurs when the stomach lining is damaged, usually by excess stomach acid or infection with H. pylori. I was prescribed medication to reduce the acid levels in my stomach, but I’m still unsure about what caused the ulcer and how I can prevent it from happening again. I’ve heard that certain foods and lifestyle choices can irritate the stomach lining and exacerbate gastric ulcers, and I want to understand what I should avoid and what foods can help soothe the digestive system. I’ve also read that stress can contribute to the development of ulcers, and I’m curious about how I can manage my stress levels to support my healing process. Since I prefer natural remedies, I’ve been looking into Ayurvedic treatments that could complement my medication and help heal my ulcer. I’ve heard that herbs like licorice root, aloe vera, and turmeric can help soothe the stomach lining and reduce inflammation. I’m wondering how these herbs could support my healing process and prevent further irritation. Has anyone dealt with gastric ulcers? What treatments worked for you, and did you find any Ayurvedic remedies helpful in managing the symptoms?
