Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest tim
Consider alternatives like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain.
2. Test and Treat H. pylori Infection
Helicobacter pylori is a bacteria that can damage the stomach lining and cause ulcers.
If you have persistent stomach issues, ask your doctor to test for H. pylori (via breath, stool, or blood tests).
If positive, it's treatable with a course of antibiotics and acid reducers.
3. Limit Irritants
Some substances can increase acid production or irritate the stomach lining:
Smoking – damages the protective lining of the stomach.
Excess alcohol – can erode stomach lining.
Excess caffeine – may increase acid secretion in some people.
Spicy or acidic foods – may aggravate symptoms (varies by individual).
4. Eat a Stomach-Friendly Diet
Include fiber-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains).
Include probiotics (yogurt, kefir, fermented foods).
Eat smaller, more frequent meals to reduce acid spikes.
Avoid eating right before bed.
5. Use Stomach-Protecting Medications If Needed
If you need to be on NSAIDs long-term, your doctor might prescribe:
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) – like omeprazole or esomeprazole
H2 blockers – like ranitidine or famotidine
Misoprostol – helps protect the stomach lining (used less often)
6. Manage Stress
Stress alone doesn’t cause ulcers, but it can worsen symptoms and delay healing.
Try relaxation techniques: deep breathing, yoga, meditation, exercise.
7. Know the Warning Signs
See a doctor if you have:
Persistent stomach pain or burning
Nausea, vomiting
Blood in vomit or stool (black/tarry stools)
Unexplained weight loss
