I am hosting a dinner party and one of the guests was recently diagnosed with stomach ulcers. I don't want to make a dinner that would be bad for her condition so what are some really great recipes for this situation?
Ulcers, Stomach and Intestinal
Eat small, frequent meals and choose soothing, mucilaginous foods such as ground flax seeds in buttermilk, yogurt or porridge. Well-cooked grains, vegetables and fruits are best. Congees of oats, barley or rice are beneficial. Plain unsweetened yogurt containing live stomach ulcersculture, mixed with freshly ground flax seed creates a beneficial bacterial environment in the intestine.
Avoid fatty, rich foods, vinegar, citrus fruits and plums, and do not drink coffee or tea, as these produce excess stomach acid. For a bleeding ulcer, fast for one or two days with chamomile tea. Then, start with buttermilk, adding oatmeal porridge with cream on the fourth day. It is better not to drink too much liquid with an ulcer diet. If you have recurring ulcers, eat simple meals for a couple of monthsstomach ulcers such as, oatmeal porridge, unpolished rice and potatoes. Drink mineral water and diluted potato juice. Do not eat bran or whole wheat bread as the bran irritates the already-damaged stomach lining, triggers pain and even causes light bleeding.
She should avoid caffeine and red/black pepper, mainly. As long as you avoid those (or provide al alternate choice.... Water instead of Iced Tea), you should be fine.
Call the guest and ask him/or her what she/he can eat, and cannot eat. That is the simplest way to know.
