Yes, allergies.

Read “Eat Right for Your Blood Type”

I cannot eat white flour products without paying.

Had lasagna last night and have had indigestion since. (pasta)

Find out what you cannot eat (nutrionalist) and start from there.

You know how as a child you balled up bread to hook a bream? It made a nice play dough type ball?

For some people white bread does the same thing in their stomach.

Nuff said.

I ‘m not in the medical field, but since I recently read that ulcers are caused by bacteria I am thinking that maybe eating yogurt might help?

It’s funny that you’d mention oatmeal… Steelcut oats are pretty much the only thing that gives me heartburn.
But, I do agree that you should work on the problem more holistically. Try letting your body repair itself, then you won’t have to be quite as strict with your diet. Cooked veggies are okay, aren’t they?

I define junk food as fast food, but I guess also chips, cookies, candy, that kinda thing. It is a bummer that fruits and veggies mess up your stomach too
How about going to a naturopath?

And how do you define “junk food?”

You know, that’s easy to say. And I’ve thought about it. I’m sure if I started eating real oatmeal (groats?) every meal with water, my stomach would feel fine.

I could cut out all caffeine, alcohol, and any non bland foods - including fresh fruits and vegetables and salads, which all mess up my stomach. But what would life be like? Would it really be worth it? Would it be practical, even?

I have found that each of us needs to take control of our own health. And, pharmas are not the answer.

Cut out the junk food, and go as natural as possible with your food.
