Ucler Triggering Foods 

Some studies show that specific nutrients may assist in combating the discomfort and swelling in your stomach stimulated by an ulcer.

Scientists have researched how linoleic acid, which is found in foods like egg yolks, olive oil, walnuts, and coconut oil, influences those with ulcers.

Good fat is good, but keep it moderate as it could cause inflammation when too much is consumed. Further studies indicate that omega-3 fatty acids, also called EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), may fight inflammation.

This good fat is said to block specific chemicals in the body known as leukotrienes. A good source of EPA is fish oil.

Another type of omega-3 found in fish is DHA. It can help tackle inflammation and is often used by individuals with ulcers.

According to research, yoghurt has probiotics, which are healthy bacteria for the stomach and reduce inflammation.
