last week i had a hemmorage (ovarian cyst ruptured and it was attached to a vein and im on blood thinner so i hemmoraged inside my body) and almost died and had to have 6 units of blood to save my life. but now my ulcer is eating me alive. I'm on coumadin and alot of other meds because of blood clots ive had for 7 years and now on more cause of this problem last week. I think its a combo of my nerves and all these meds im on now because i have another cyst they are waiting to see if it will burst too. im taking the meds like im supposed to, but yet the ulcer is hurting badly. do any of you have any advice to help me please? also, my best friend, is going thru a divorce and i feel like since im so sick i cant be of much help that thats breaking my heart. how can all of this happen at one time? PLEASE help! id appreciate any advice at all. thanks. reb.

Banana is one of the most effective home remedies for the treatment of a peptic ulcer. This fruit is said to contain an unidentified compound, perhaps jokingly called vitamin U (against ulcers). Banana neutralises the over-acidity of the gastric juices and reduces the irritation of the ulcer by coating the lining of the stomach. Patients who are in an advanced state of the disease should take a diet consisting only of two bananas with a glass of milk, three or four times a day.
Cabbage is regarded as another useful home remedy for a peptic ulcer: 250 gm should be boiled in 500 ml of water till it is reduced to half; this water should be allowed to cool, and taken twice daily. The juice extracted from raw cabbage is also a valuable medicine for a peptic ulcer. However, as this juice is very strong, it should be taken in combination with carrot juice, in quantities of 125 ml each.
The juices of raw vegetables, particularly carrot and cabbage, are beneficial in the treatment of peptic ulcers. Carrot juice may be taken either alone or in combination with spinach, or beet and cucumber. The formula proportions in case of the first combination are 300ml of carrot juice and 200 ml of spinach juice; and in case of the second combination, 300 ml of carrot juice and 100 ml each of beet and cucumber juice to make 500 ml of juice.
Goat's milk is also highly beneficial in the treatment of this disease. It actually helps to heal peptic ulcers. For better results, a glass of goat's milk should be taken in a raw state, three times daily.
