There is no one single best food which will help heal stomach ulcer but rather a variety of foods combined together in a diet will support better stomach function.
You can include below foods in your diet:
• Include soft foods in your diet such as oatmeal, bananas, well-cooked rice, mashed potato etc.
• Include lean proteins such as soft cooked fish, eggs, skinless chicken, tofu which will support healing.
• Try avoiding spicy foods, caffeine, alcohol, fried foods and citrus fruits that can irritate your stomach lining.
• Include probiotic rich foods such as yogurt and buttermilk which will promote healing and balance the bacteria.
• Cooked vegetables like carrots, pumpkin, spinach, green amaranth and also nuts like almonds and walnuts, fatty fish will offer anti-inflammatory benefits.
Avoid fried and processed foods and consider having small and frequent meal.
