Hi all,
I am 99% sure I gave myself a bit of an ulcer because I took Advil a few times! not long after eating, but I was trying to use betaine HCL during my meals. I think it was a very bad combo, especially since I was starting to have some signs of digestive distress in my stomach area before that (hence the HCL). I was taking the Advil for pain, not something I normally do, but you bet I won't be taking it again!
Now the question is, how do I heal? I am not taking the HCL currently. I am taking one tab of Pepcid daily when I start feeling like there is a burning sensation in my stomach. I am also supplementing with l-glutamine, gelatin, extra tumeric, licorice tea, ginger tea, chamomile tea, licorice tincture. Is there anything else I should be doing? How long will this take? I am back and forth on whether I should call my doc as some days I have no symptoms in my stomach (my bowels tend to be on the loose side anyway, but there is that, too). She knows about it, but wanted me to come in if I am still having issues. They are significantly less, but still, I don't know. Thoughts?
