Light Meals After 4pm

Eating light it the key, skip dinner or just have fresh squeezed juice, or fresh cilantro juice it is healing. The days of big food and big dinner has always been a bad idea the body needs time to heal and clear away all the toxins and the body needs time to rest, You wouldn't run your car all night it would break down more often, So in order for your digestion to be healthy eating light makes you feel cleaner, clearer and refreshed, and helped me eliminate stomach pain.
Broccoli
Posted by Mama To Many (Tennessee) on 10/31/2016
Dear Norma,
Try having a normal sized portion of broccoli (1/2-1 cup), lightly steamed once or twice a day. Too much broccoli, especially if you are not used to it, can cause digestive distress.

Colloidal Silver
Posted by Marilyn (Uk) on 09/20/2017
Can you tell me if colloidal silver destroys any healthy gut bacteria. I have been using it for 2 years to prevent colds and sore throats very successfully but ever since then I have had terrible problems with my intestines. I have been using good quality probiotics and have a good diet so the only thing I can think of is the colloidal silver might be upsetting the natural bacteria. Any advice would be very welcome. thanks

Posted by Anon (Anon) on 11/28/2017
Probably 30 minutes before eating or at least an hour after eating would be "on an empty stomach". If you ate just raw fruit or vegetables with it that would probably not interfere with its absorption, I would think. You just don't want to dilute its concentration with a large dense meal. Although taking a larger dose of silver would probably be ok if you had it with a meal. It would get digested more slowly and absorbed over a longer time. I like to take it with fresh fruit.

Hi, My husband had H. Pylori many years ago. The antibiotic treatment did not work. What did was homemade (strong) colloidal silver. I'm sorry but I do not remember quantities and as it was homemade I have no strength measurement either. He did have to take it for quite a while though.
Manuka Honey

I first tried Pine Nut Oil. It gave me some relief, but not satisfied I decided to try manuka honey since doctors were not paying attention to the problem and was told to take meds for the rest of my life. I bought the Manuka Honey ___ ___ and after a few days my pains went away and I was able to eat again. Since then I have been good. I took the honey for 1 month, and I only take it once in a while now. A good diet is also recommended since certain foods will also make the condition worse. Every body is different so this migth not work on all, but i'm glad I tried the honey. Other brands did not do what Manuka did for me.
Dietary Changes

Here is what helped me with my H Pylori. I hope it helps others.
After being told I would have to live on antacids, I thought this is not the way to live.I noticed the food I ate was the culprit and caused great disomfort. I also noticed if I was stressed or tired, I also increased my stomach discomfort and pain. After a lot of trial and error, I found the best thing you can do is, eat a diet with a PH balance higher in Alakaline. A simple thing like and apple settled my stomach even in the middle of the night.I looked up which foods contain acids and which ones where alkaline. I bought a ph test paper at a local health store to determine what my PH level was. This test will determine if you are too acidic. If you are too acidic you will have have a low PH under 7.0. When the Ph balance is over 7.0 or higher you will notice your stomach pain is relieved. I have no stomach pain when mine is 7.5, but if it goes lower because of stress or the wrong food I eat.
My advice is to look up acidic and alkaline food groups, buy the ph test paper and hopefully you will see it will help your life too.

I would have to agree with this, all of my severe episodes involving my stomach-reflux, indigestion, nausea- happen if I eat a big dinner which includes a concentrated protein like chicken or beef. Also, stomach acid is the lowest in the evening and it takes a lot of acid to digest meat.

D-Mannose, Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Hi Guys,
I have gotten relief from d-mannose, particularly for the cramping. For me, the cramping stops immediately. And Omega 3 Fatty Acids seem to be very beneficial in a general sense.
Here's something I just found on-line and decided to come back here to let everyone know in case you're interested.
From cancertutor.com, a very reliable website:
Ellagic acid is anti-bacterial, [it] destroys the H. pylori bacteria responsible for stomach ulcers. Ellagic acid is a naturally occurring polyphenolic constituent found in 46 different fruits and nuts, like grapes, pomegranate, red raspberry, strawberry, blueberry and walnuts.
This non-profit site: http://www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/EllagicAcid.html discusses ellagic acid and has links to other sites that discuss it. Linked vendors are identified as such, but tend to be reputable.
I'm going to try it and get back.

Avoid Pepto Bismol
Posted by Ted (Bangkok, Thailand) 392 posts
The distention will be helped with the bicarbonate remedy. The problem about the Pepto is the bismuth. It is a heavy metal. If fluid retention is causing problems alpha lipoic acid supplements and green tea (no sugar no milk) will reduce it too. Pomegranate fruits are also very diuretic, if I happen to take a couple of REAL fruits, not the juice, to reduce the water retention, in case there is one. H. Pylori may also reduced with tannin rich green tea too. Zinc gluoconate sometimes help kill the H. Pylori too, but only if they are chewed I believe.
Vitamin C
Posted by Jeff (WI) on 08/30/2024
OK, this is a brand new study from NIH Pub Med: Vitamin C is preventive and curative for H pylori.
Why? Vitamin C stops H pylori from depositing it's enzyme, urease, into the stomach, strengthens the collagen layer of the stomach wall so it the bacteria cannot attach and strengthens the immune system. The study showed that 5000 mg of Vita C, in a month killed off the bacteria in 100% of participants that took it and the control group had zero improvement. 5000 mg is too much for long term use as it will cause kidney stones because of the undigested remains that float about and lodge in the kidney. But at 500 mg, twice as many were healed as without. I have taken 5000 mg in the past for virus etc and could feel the acid build up so that was likely too much for the long term. Linus Pauling won the Nobel Prize and said to take 3000 mg daily and 10,000 mg when sick. You decide how much but these studies are very compelling. For me, I am adding it in, alternating with fulvic minerals, some Manuka Honey, baking soda etc, all in sequence with an hour in between. Pylori is going away quickly... Read all of earthclinic and form your own regimen. You will win, just leave an hour between each remedy. There is a delicate balance here because the stomach needs to be more acidic and the intestine, more alkaline. Therefore, baking soda alternating with vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

Do you know that H.Pylori can protect you from oesophageal cancer? Not every bug in your body needs to be killed. Many what we call “bugs” are synergistic organisms that exist for a reason. There is a reason our bodies make it nearly impossible to eradicate H.Pylori. Suppres, yes, it is possible. There is a reason that even triple antibiotics can't reach, let alone eradicate H.Pylori. Oversimplifying H.Pylori as “infection” is a mistake. And if you still want to fight it, with whatever, bismuth must be a part of the protocol. Please have a breath test after you believe that you killed it. Chances are, it would be positive. Do you know that H.Pylori can protect you from oesophageal cancer?

Over the years I helped many people to understand H.Pylori and what to do with it ( or not to do) Some were so impressed that they planted seabuckthorn shrubs in their gardens. Of course this is just one part of the “life style”, not protocol, change. Over the years I posted several times here on EC. But people don't read it and just want a quick fix.

Dear Jessica,
The length of time that I have used natural antibiotics has varied greatly depending on the bacteria and how well the body is responding to treatment.
It seems that with H. Pylori, it can take a while. I would probably want to use turmeric for at least a month. Maybe the honey for just 2 weeks since it is pricey. You will probably be able to judge for yourself how you are responding and if you should continue longer.

You can buy colloidal generators online for a decent price. I had a friend make mine for less than $50. YouTube has excellent videos on how to make your own. My friend made it by watching a YouTube video. I'm still learning how to make it. The color after it's made confuses me.
I have suffered h.pylori for almost a year. It caused me to lose weight drastically where my body was starving itself because everything I ate wasn't digesting. The first time I thought I cured it by taking black seed oil 2x's day with manuka honey (1 tsp each) for a week and my symptoms seemed gone but came back after a few days. Manuka honey was too expensive so I stopped that regimen. I thought I cured h.pylori (by accident) bc I was curing a parasite infection that I thought was causing my weight loss. I bought a black walnut, wormwood, and complex online. Tried it for 2 weeks and one week off and two weeks again (2 to 3 squeezes 3times a day). All my symptoms of h.pylori were gone except I still wasn't gaining weight. Then about 5 months later I got the symptoms of h.pylori again and got tested to confirm. This time I decided to go full war in this thing. I first started with the black walnut complex with a pinch of borax regimen for two weeks.. no change. so I add 15 drops of oregano oil to it. I only went up to 11 days bc I tested my urine and I saw something bilirubin showing on the strip so I stopped (a high dose of oregano oil can wreak havoc on your liver so you have to be careful) in water 3 times day first thing in the morning and waited half hour to drink my tea. In my tea I put 1 tsp black seed oil, 2k mg vitamin c powder, 1 tsp turmeric, pinch of black pepper, 1/4 tsp Himalayan salt, 1 tsp of local raw honey from a private hive, 1 tsp moringa powder (for nutrition) in warm water 2x's daily on empty stomach. I waited half hour and ate my regular anti-inflammatory diet with 1 cup of real cranberry juice twice daily. I started this on the 3rd week bc I still wasn't getting results and after the cranberry.i saw improvements within a day. So I continued with all my regimen and decided to add 2 tbs of fulvic acid to my cranberry juice. I'm very lucky bc I can buy it in N.Mexico not far from me, where it's the only place it comes from. Btw I stopped the h. Salt bc I was taking fulvic acid instead. I may go back to h. Salt layer down the road. Then a few days later I ate yogurt or kefir twice a day with 2 pills of Mastic gum, 2 pills of B-complex, 2 pills of probiotics plus 1/16 tsp of real aspirin powder and 1/16 tsp of lysine powder and a few drops of chlorophyll (for my RA) twice a day. I don't like pills so I just emptied the capsules and stirred them into my yougurt/kefir.
Within a few days my h.pylori symptoms were 90% gone. I then added 1/8tsp of powdered dgl in my blackwalnut, wormwood complex twice daily. To me, the dgl worked in one day. Before, I had a few days of gurgling and bloating a gas and feeling like I need to use bathroom. Withing a few hours of dgl (first dose) I had diareah and my stomach and stools have been fine since. I felt like my body and the h.pylori were battling and my body won. It's been about a week now and no more nausea, bloating, gas, burping, etc from h.pylori. I'm going to do this entire regimen for 2 to 3 months and then get tested.
Oh, I wanted to add, I take 1/8 tsp borax throughout the day either with my regimen or just with water. I also added ph water with my black walnut complex regimen about a week ago and I think that helped ( I test my urine first thing in am and it's 6.5 still trying into increase bt 7 to 8). So overall, I think what really worked for me quickly was the real cranberry juice twice daily, the mastic gum and the dgl. I'm still going to continue everything except the oregano oil. I'm taking milk thistle to heal my liver just in case I overworked it by taking such a high dose of oregano oil..I may go back to it on a few weeks to see how I feel. You know what's the weirdest of all this. The next day after my first dose of dgl, my body was so hungry (having h. pylori, I had little appetite) but my body craved so much food that I haven't had in over a year (pizza, lasagna, just heavy home cooked hot meals my body just wanted to eat and eat). I didn't give into it and stuck with my anitinflamnatory diet. Another thing, my joint pain from R arthritis is 95% gone! Not sure why but I'm finally sleeping moving around just being pain-free from suffering debilitating pain for almost a year! I think killing the bacteria may have stopped the gas that it was releasing which caused my joint pain? Not sure but I'm happy. Hope this helps. I'm still going to get tested in a few months and see if it worked. I also wanted to add that when I was losing weight drastically for 5 month, an ND suggested Himalayan salt 2 times daily to kill whatever was causing my drastic weight loss. I started 1/4 tsp in warm water twice daily and within a few days I started gaining weight. I went from 92 to 106 within 2 months. My weight has remained steady. This was after I thought I cured my h.pylori the first time. Even though I got it again, it has not effected my weight bc I tackled it immediately as I felt symptoms. I'm sorry this is so long. I just wanted to be specific and detailed so it might help someone else.
This is a horrible bacteria that can drain you physically and emotionally.

Respectfully, JR's last line is advice you're needing here now. Google "acidic alkaline food tables" and steer yourself away from acidic foods as much as you can. Broccoli sprouts are easy to grow (one of my routines for years) that may well help your H-Pylori along with regular green tea. Many aggregate fruits (berries) are also helpful. One key is keeping your body on the slightly alkaline side. Again, JR's bottom line of his post is key advice. Best to you, Mary.
Keep Your pH Alkaline
Posted by Howaurayou (Las Vegas, NV) on 04/28/2009
★★★★☆
If you have or are suffering from H pylori or just gastric stomach, go to any health food store and get PH paper. The paper dipped in your urine will let you know your PH level. If you are below 7.0, you will notice that is when your stomach will be at its worse. During these times, it is best to eat foods that are alkaline and not acidic. If you are like me, you will see there are foods that are acidic that you have been eating, and causing your stomach to feel even worse. If your body show a PH level below the norm of 7.0 eat foods like apples. When my stomach starts to feel this way one apple usually tones it down and even eliminates the pain and discomfort. It took me a few days of testing my PH levels and eating foods from the the Alakaline group. If you keep your food intake at 70% alkaline and 30 acidic, your PH will return to normal. I feel best when my PH is at 7.5. You may find you need it higher. The best place to look for an alkaline and acidic list of food groups, is to look it up on the internet. It will not cure your H Pylori, but it does make you feel like it is gone if you watch what you eat. Good luck and good health.

★★★☆☆WORKED TEMPORARILY
I have been diagnosed three times with H. pylori over the last eight years, and I am experiencing the symptoms of a fourth outbreak currently. I am reluctant at this point, however, to go back and get tested because the outcome is a fairly awful regimen of antibiotics and all sorts of other stuff. I do get tested afterwards and am negative, but I am wondering if I am just knocking the H. pylori down to a level that is below the threshold of detection. This regimen of medicines usually feels worse than the H. pylori symptoms, and help for awhile, but it always comes back. Does anyone else have this history of repeated outbreaks? I have also tried ACV or baking soda, because it seems like I have widely varying pH levels in my system, not just a basic or acidic system. I can usually tell which one I need- ACV when it feels like I am not digesting well, and baking soda when I have bad gas. I also reduce the amount of protein in my diet because I find it hard to digest, and as I get more symptomatic, I eat less and less in general and only mild stuff.

I have suffered from h pylori and night time was the most terrible experience because I could not sleep with the constant irritation of my stomach. I have been taking lots of ginger, garlic, tumeric, cabbage juice, brocholi sprouts, plenty water, probiotics. I have to eat lightly and the most important thing is not to eat any heavy food at night or I won't get to sleep. I therefore eliminate all processed foods - have lots of raw veg salads and light fish. What I discovered eliminated the night discomfort for me was just having watermelon or light fruit after 4 pm - nothing hard to digest. It allows the stomach to heal overnight as the stomach does not have to pump out a lot of acid when you just eat fruit. I started sleeping better, pain went away and I woke up feeling refreshed. I now do not have symptoms. AT night the stomach does NOT want to be digesting heavy food. Sip on teas made from tumeric, ginger, liquorice. When you get enough rest your body will be able to fight the bug.
