I decided to do a piece on stomach ulcers because its something very close to my heart; over the past few months I experienced forms of pain that I never knew could be experienced. I had been in and out of the hospital several times and this was draining the life out of me. I was diagnosed with having a stomach ulcer. Stomach ulcers are painful sores/wounds in the stomach which can be caused by a variety of reasons from bacteria to NSAIDS to hyperacidity, you can google the rest for more info.
After my diagnosis, I thought things would get better and that finally my days of pain accompanied with constant vomitting and severe headaches would be over but sadly it grew worse. All the drugs and ant-acids were not working at all. I couldn't get up, I couldn't lie down because I was hurting all over
my back, stomach, abdomen I really thought I was going to die because I felt that if medicine couldn't help me, how would I survive the hell I was going through and the constant trips to the hospital.
It was a really terrifying experience but thank God I made it. I remember struggling through the pains to go online and search for a solution when I came across a piece by someone else who had the same if not a worse experience than I did and she swore by unripe plantains as her cure. I was a bit skeptical about it but I decided to give it a try.
I told my mom about it and she got the plantains, washed, peeled and cut about 4 of it into very small pieces and put them in a 5 litre rubber thereafter, she filled the container that already had the diced plantain in them to half the container with water (This was the prescription I got online).
After that, the container was tightly closed and let to ferment for three days before I started taking it. Trust me it wasnt easy at all but I had to brace up and take it notwithstanding how irritated I was and within 3 days I was relieved totally!
It worked like magic! by the third week I could run around he compound! I was really elated and so I decided to share for anyone who might be going through a similar experience.
The sticky nature of unripe plantains helps cover the surface of the sores and its best taken before every meal.
Also, remember to always take pap, okro soup, cabbage juice and stay very far away from fizzy drinks such as coke, fanta etc and malt. Fried foods are also a no- no during the healing period and stay away from caffeine and NSAID drugs.
I really hope I was able to help someone out there who is probably struggling like I did, I know exactly how you feel and no you're not going to die and yes there is a solution! All the best... xoxo
