I have had digestive issues and slow down of digestion since a year, also I read peptic ulcer could be caused by H pylori bacteria,but only recently I had severed abdominal pain for few weeks and my doctor told that I have peptic ulcer, could it be that I had the ulcer due to presence of H pylori,shall I have a test for presence of the bacteria ? Also What dietary changes shall I make and what foods to avoid.Thanks.
Brief Answer:
H.Pylori should be ruled out in long standing case.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,
Thanks for follow up query.
1) For long standing case of peptic ulcer, we need to rule out H. pylori bacteria through rapid Urea Breath test (C14 or C13).
It should be combined with histological examination after endoscopic biopsy for accuracy and confirmation of the diagnosis. In case of positive result, H.Pylori therapy should be started after consultation with your treating doctor.
2) Foods to be avoided: Hot beverages, whole milk or chocolate milk, spicy or strong cheese, dairy products, coffee, green or black tea, orange and grape fruit juice, chili and garlic powder, high fat meat etc.
You should take more green vegetables and fiber rich diet. Drink more water.
3) Slippery Elm Bark Powder can be taken along with other prescribed medicines as it protects from peptic ulcer disease.
Hope, it helps for your information. Good luck and take care.
