This time around I refused them and was adamantly "making a demand" from who-ever-or-whatever in charge of healing. Then I picked my mobile and a few pressing of some keys led me to this site. I took some activated charcoal and the relief was so instant and soothing I slept for Hours. I woke up like into a whole new planet: a renewed person. Then I started cayenne. That was so so miraculous! Even though much emphasis is laid on African Bird Pepper, there are HOTTER varieties. Just 4 days into my cayenne treatment and I came alive for the first time in my life. If we are truly related, I think on this site we have eventually met. Natural, clean, simple living just the way it was before! There is really a force pulling us together, introducing us to one another. Nice reuniting with you all.

I was going to do 1 pill of the Mastic Gum 2 times a day?

I juiced 1/2 a green cabbage everyday (once/day) with 1-2 carrots added for sweetness. Within 3 days of juicing and eating a very bland diet, consisting of mostly veggies, rice, and chicken, my ulcer no longer hurt. I continued doing this for 2 weeks and my symptoms vanished. I did have to make permanent changes to my diet and adhere to them. I avoid alcohol, wheat, dairy (except raw cheeses), and ANY and ALL junk food. It has been over a year now and I have no symptoms of the ulcer and no digestive problems since making these changes. I do still juice a few times a week with cabbage and many other varieties of veggies and fruits for the numerous benefits.
After a lot of research, I found that the enzymes in raw foods are essential to proper nutrition and digestion. When we are deficient in digestive and pancreatic enzymes, our GI system suffers for it. I also learned that a lack of stomach acid is more likely the culprit with such GI upsets than too much acid, which can be easily overcome with fresh squeezed lemon in water after meals or a tbsp. of ACV added to water works great too. God gave us all we need to live long healthy lives, we just need to keep passing on this great information to each other. God bless us all!

As far back as I can remember, my entire family played the eat and race to the baking soda to counteract the acid problem. I finally stumbled upon the cause of my constant heartburn, indigestion, and nausea, and flatulence(gas) in my thirty's. Elimination of all bleached flour from my diet worked wonders for my stomach problems. My PUD has only hit me once since I discovered this. I devoured a bunch of raw broccoli with dip over 2 days. I finally had to realize that the dip probably contained bleached flour. which caused the problem, since I have eaten raw broccoli since then with no problem. I now have what some call a cast iron stomach. I can eat hot salsa, black coffee, have my occasional liquor on the rocks with no problem.
About 15 years later, I was researching PUD for a term paper. I learned that PUD became a problem in the upper socioeconomic group about 11 years after someone came up with bleaching flour. It was so expensive only the wealthy could afford it. Some years later it became cheap enough that the middle socioeconomic group could afford it. Yep, PUD moved into this group about the same number of years later. Then somebody in (Minnesoto, I think) came with a process of bleaching it that made it so everyone could afford it. You guessed it-after approximately the same number of years later, PUD moved into this group also. My AHA! conclusion -SOMETHING IN BLEACHING PROCESS CAUSES UPSET STOMACH WHICH PROGRESSES TO PUD.
Now I still have a question. Can anyone explain why drinking, eating acid foods (tomatos, citrus juices, etc) from metal cans causes upset stomach or why eating bananas be they ripen enough to get brown speckles on peeling does the same.
Whatever, my advice to everyone is to eat your food as close to the way God grows it, if you want to be healthier.
