now hello and welcome back to my channel
0:10
thank you so much for tuning in if
0:12
you're new here this is simple nutrition
0:14
giving suggestions to everyday nutrition
0:16
problems and on today's episode we are
0:18
talking about stomach ulcers again
0:21
because it's a video i did on stomach
0:23
acids a while ago and that was based on
0:26
the dietary management of stomach ulcers
0:28
what not to eat what to moderate and
0:31
what to cut off completely for you to be
0:33
able to manage stomach acids i'm putting
0:35
a link to that video down on the
0:37
description box that you can watch that
0:39
video as well
0:41
so to start us off we are going to
0:42
define we are going to know what stomach
0:44
ulcers is and stomach cancers all
0:46
stomach cells are just ulcers or cells
0:48
on the lining of your stomach wall
0:51
usually caused by the bacteria
0:52
especially or overused or certain
0:55
medications
0:56
so when the stomach wall is destroyed
0:59
that means the stomach acids or the
1:02
gastric acids in the stomach conceive
1:05
into those souls into those uh ulcers
1:09
causing a lot of irritation and a lot of
1:11
pain so in managing stomach acids we
1:14
also need to know which are these myths
1:16
and misconceptions when it comes to
1:18
management of stomach acids that we
1:20
should stop believing and maybe embrace
1:22
better facts in managing stomach ulcers
1:26
and to start us off we're going to start
1:28
we're going to mention four make common
1:30
myths and misconceptions and you're
1:32
going to find some truths and facts from
1:35
them
1:36
and the first one is that stress causes
1:38
stomach ulcers so like i've already
1:41
mentioned is that the research the most
1:43
common
1:44
uh cause of stomach ulcers is the
1:46
bacteria h pylori okay
1:50
stress
1:51
may not directly cause stomach ulcers
1:54
but it may not be friendly for a person
1:56
who is already diagnosed with stomach
1:59
acid and this is why
2:02
anything that causes production of more
2:04
and more stomach acids will definitely
2:07
cause more irritation and more pain so
2:11
stress has been found to cause
2:12
production of more stomach acids and
2:15
therefore irritation and therefore more
2:18
pain so in managing stomach acids let
2:21
alone the antibiotics to kill the
2:23
bacteria hydrating you'll also need to
2:26
find ways to manage stress and that is
2:28
working alongside with the therapist or
2:30
yourself figure out ways to stay calm
2:33
most of the time in this way you're able
2:35
to prevent more pain as a result of the
2:39
agitated or the irritated stomach
2:41
absence
2:42
number two is that milk is the
2:44
medication and more often than not you
2:46
find a very fast relief
2:49
once you take a cup of milk that is if
2:51
you're already having stomach acid once
2:53
you take a glass of milk you'll find an
2:55
immediate relief you suddenly feel
2:57
better but does it last
2:59
does the relief last no because what
3:01
milk does is to give a temporal solution
3:04
it covers the source and therefore you
3:06
don't feel as much pain
3:08
what you need is more than just a cup of
3:10
milk you need the antibiotics you need
3:12
to wash on the medications you're being
3:14
over the counter you also need to learn
3:16
ways to manage your stress like i've
3:17
already mentioned before so as much as
3:19
milk will help somehow
3:22
to reduce the pain and the discomfort it
3:24
may not be the ultimate solution so what
3:26
you need is to solve to stop
3:29
self-medicating because eventually it
3:30
becomes worse and the more you do this
3:33
you're seizing the pain you you're
3:35
reducing your chances of getting proper
3:37
medication and therefore you're risking
3:39
too many many more complications as a
3:41
result of the stomach ulcers
3:45
and number three is that spicy foods
3:47
causes stomach ulcers now
3:50
i'm just going to touching this so that
3:52
we can look at it as um spicy foods in
3:55
relation to stomach acid so once you're
3:57
diagnosed with stomach ulcers like i've
3:58
said anything that is going to go into
4:01
your stomach to irritate those ulcers
4:03
and those sores is going to cause more
4:05
pain
4:06
so a food like pilau may not cause
4:08
stomach acids but is it going to be
4:11
friendly for a person
4:12
with stomach acids no because the
4:15
contents those spices uh the paper and
4:18
all those things in in certain foods
4:21
making those that are making those foods
4:23
too spicy might not be friendly on your
4:25
stomach sauce and will cost more pain
4:28
okay
4:29
it doesn't cause but it doesn't help
4:31
okay
4:32
and finally we are talking about
4:35
treatment
4:37
stomach ulcers has no treatment now for
4:39
any disease once discovered early enough
4:42
a solution or a treatment would be found
4:45
stomach us has the same way once it's
4:47
discovered it's discovered early enough
4:49
you can be put on antibiotics dietary
4:51
management managing stress all these
4:54
things that could be causing a lot of
4:55
irritation or in your stomach okay so
4:58
that is a solution and you'll be good
5:00
soon enough so alongside this video i've
5:03
said there's a video that i did on
5:04

5:07
the dietary management because in that
5:09
