very interesting...

 

This was an old medical practice that has

since been discredited. Doctors used to

prescribe milk diets. I remember working

in a long term care facility and having to

bring this very grumpy stomach patient his

mug of warm milk every other hour.

 

The milk will indeed coat the stomach and

give a brief relief, but then the stomach

will produce extra acid in order to digest

the milk.

 

It is NOT a good idea.

Cabbage juice, yes, chamomile tea, yes,

milk, no!

I totally agree! Having suffered from GERD from 10 years, I dont go near milk.

It increases acidity in my stomach. ALOE VERA JUICE! Trust me, it worked for

me

Maybe they were using RAW milk which has amazing health benefits and not the

nasty pasturised homogenised rubbish we get today.I think you would get a

similar beneficial result if you used kefir or a cultured milk product.

If you take cold milk it will defenitely help in lining the stomach in

healing the ulcer. Food must be taken boil type - not oily and spicy.

Cabbage juice does not help much in most of the cases. However adequate

symtomatic medicine should also be taken to heal the ulcer for good.
