I need help with the stomach ulcer that gives me severe headaches when I eat certain foods - #19786
Godwin Brown
I was diagnosed of stomach ulcer 2 years back but forgot the exact type. And it was always accompanied by severe headaches on my forehead, lightheadedness, Claudy vision, vertigo if i take any medication for the headaches it gets even severe but if i take ulcer treatment like Omeprazole it subsides. I usually get the headaches when I eat raw groundnut, mango fruit, boiled yam, sip garri, etc. now I take the Omeprazole it seem not to be working. I need help please.

Hello
If anyone suffering from severe gastritis or stomach ulcer they will have headache as there will nerve connecting from hard to stomach that nerve will get irritated and it will leads to headache.
Avoid spicy sour foods and fruits for some days.
Avoid sugar , aerated juices oil fried items , processed foods.
Take boiled vegetables only.
1) Madhiphala rasayana 3tsf-3tsf-3tsf with 3tsf water after food
2) yasthimadhu ghrita 1tsf-1tsf-1tsf before food 10 mins
3) tab amlant 1-0-1 before food 5mins

From an Ayurvedic perspective, your symptoms indicate a disturbance in your digestive fire (Agni) and an aggravation of Pitta dosha.
Your history of stomach ulcer, which responded to omeprazole, suggests an excess of Pitta (acid and heat) in the stomach. Pitta imbalance can cause ulceration and burning sensations in the digestive tract.
The severe headaches, lightheadedness, claudy (cloudy) vision, and vertigo that accompany your ulcer symptoms may be due to a spillover of Pitta into the head region. This is why the headaches worsen with certain foods like raw groundnuts, mangoes, boiled yam, and garri—all of which can increase Pitta.
When you took omeprazole, it helped by reducing stomach acidity, thus calming Pitta. However, as your body’s balance changes over time, the same treatment may not be as effective.
Since omeprazole now seems less effective and your headaches are returning with food triggers, it suggests that the underlying imbalance may have deepened or shifted. Your Agni (digestive fire) may be weak, leading to improper digestion and further aggravation of Pitta, which then manifests as headaches and other symptoms.
Avoid or reduce foods that increase heat and acidity, such as raw groundnuts, mangoes, boiled yam, and garri.
Favor cooling and easily digestible foods like cooked vegetables, rice, and moong dal.
Include bitter and astringent tastes (like leafy greens and pomegranate) to balance Pitta.
In the meantime take this medication for 2 weeks - Tab Pittashekhar 2-0-2 after food.
Tab Kamdudha 2-0-2 before food.
Yashtimadhu + triphala churna - 1/2 tsp each after dinner.

Hi Godwin,
Can you tell me if you experience any other digestive symptoms like bloating, nausea, or heartburn along with the foods you mentioned? Also, have you noticed any changes in your stress levels or sleep quality, as these can affect both the stomach and headaches?
It seems like certain foods may trigger your symptoms, and it could be helpful to address your digestion with a more personalized approach, including dietary adjustments and possibly Ayurvedic remedies like Amla, Licorice, or Triphala to balance acidity and support healing.

Thank you.
I do get bloating every now and then but not often and my sleep quality is good.
I don't even have stomach aches, my stomach is fine
But whenever i eat something that stirs if up, comes the headaches
In stomach ulcers better avoid NSAIDS (which you are taking for taking for headache) it may further aggrevate your symptoms
Meanwhile avoid spicy sour oily fried processed foods

It sounds like your digestion is struggling with certain foods, maybe due to imbalanced Pitta, which often relates to ulcers & can trigger headaches. It’s tricky because you've mentioned that Omeprazole isn’t cutting it anymore, so let's dig into some Ayurveda-friendly changes that might help.
First off, omitting those trigger foods – like raw groundnut, mango, yam, and garri – seems wise for now. They might be heating or heavy, affecting your digestive fire or agni. Instead, focus on calming, cooling, and light options. Think simple kichari cooked with rice and mung dhal; it’s easy on digestion and very nourishing.
Introduce warm, herbal teas like licorice root or chamomile tea after meals to soothe your stomach lining. Licorice might also help coat the stomach somewhat, easing those ulcer irritations. Meanwhile, aloe vera juice on an empty stomach early mornings can be good for its cooling properties.
Headaches could be connected to ama (toxins) formed by poor digestion. Try having fresh ginger tea first thing in the morning. Don’t load it up with sugar though; just a slice or two boiled in water.
Another thing: yoga or breathing exercises like Anulom-Vilom help calm your mind and body, easing stress-related digestive issues. They're not just about flexibility; they're about balancing the nervous system too.
If all this seems overwhelming, don't rush it. Introduce one or two changes, then gradually add more. You might still want to chat with an ayurvedic practitioner nearby for a thorough plan tailored specifically to you. Just as a safety net, check with your doc about meds if anything seems off or gets worse. Better safe than sorry, right?
Let me know how it goes or if you've got any more questions. Hope this helps, a bit at least.
