milk for stomach ulcers (was] cabbage juice)

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I was also told by my doctor to avoid the all the dairy products.

Because it slows down the stomach and stomach takes time to digest these

products. So definitely milk is not a good thing for ulcer.

 

Thanks,

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!

Milk, in some people, tends to cause mucus which clogs digestion. Some

others do quite welll with it.
