To markedly lessen ulcer risk, avoid caffeine, alcohol, and heavy meals, as these all overstimulate stomach acid production. Some studies suggest that soluble fiber may help heal ulcers. Foods with strong antibacterial elements, such as yogurt with lactobacillus acidophilus cultures, or supplements containing the same organisms, have also been found to help prevent and heal ulcerous sores. Cabbage contains the amino acid glutamine, which promotes blood flow to the stomach and helps nourish its lining. FYI, the protease enzyme papain has been found in some studies to prevent indigestion and neutralize the irritating effects of aspirin and other drugs.
Some research also indicates that papain helps prevent ulcers.
