Eating fruits and vegetables have been encouraged as a way of treating stomach ulcers naturally and even prevent a recurrence.
Not just any fruit or vegetables but those that are rich in Flavonoids. Examples of those are;
- grapes
- kale
- broccoli
- apples
- berries
- onions
- tomatoes
- strawberries
Flavonoids are compounds found in this group of food that are 'gastroprotective' i.e. they help to protect the lining of the stomach, thereby promoting healing or protect it from attack.
Flavonoids also have other benefits like they are strong antioxidants and reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
Note: Citrus fruits also contain flavonoids but they can also irritate the stomach lining.
