I bet there are quite a few experts on here. ;)

What sort of treatment/diet is good for someone with a bleeding ulcer? I've researched all the medical stuff and know what meds are harmful, I'm looking for good home remedies and tried-and-true advice. :)

Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing this is some sort of leg ulcer and not a common mouth ulcer?

Marc, do you have a local Homeopath? I would recommend that as a treament:

Here's some general advice:
"Abstinence from smoking and alcohol is a must. Avoiding stress. Eating bland food and refraining from unnecessary medication.
Conventional treatment consists of antacids which cause a lot of side-effects like headache, dryness, hypersensitivity and confusion. They also have only a temporary effect.
On the other hand, homeopathic treatment is safe and gentle, without side-effects. And it treats in totality, leading to an actual cure, rather than a temporary suppression of symptoms."

Hope that helps!

Lots of booze and a crap diet are good for ulcers. Getting them that is.

A man of my aquaintance swears by brandy and milk if you feel like having a drink.
However, asking for it in your local may well be just that : :D

Thanks all, this was actually for Orbyss, who was recently hospitalized by a bleeding ulcer. She's doing just fine now, but it was pretty scary for a while. Those are nothing to sneeze at!

Anyway, I really appreciate the concern, I asked here because Orbyss remembered Loopz having ulcers, but I guess his weren't too severe (thankfully).

So thanks everyone, hopefully I'll have more time to spend on here; I've hardly even been on this new forum! Can't believe you remember my name. ;)

say get well from me :) I never had anything as severe as that. I had a course of tablets for about half a year and had to end up eating little and often. Welcome back as well :)
