http://www.crohnscolitisinfo.com/cultured-cabbage-juice#comment-691 I have read all the posts on here..I have IBS..but...recently I have an ulcer that didnt show itself till I went thru stomach virus..diahrrea which prompted me to use flavored pedialyte...bad mistake..it upset the ulcer and then I got clear pedialyte which was better and diahrrea stopped ..my mouth got ulcers and i got some nystatin, big mistake...it upset the ulcer worse as I swallowed it ..its a mouth rinse for thrush and ulcers..the thrush and ulcers in the mouth were really from the ulcer in my digestive tract..by then I was burning so badly i took some famotidine..20mgs twice daily...big mistake again..Im full of them...i began to have problems with shoulder pain radiating from my chest, head ache and moods swings, depression and axiety...other side affects as well. i didnt know it was the famotidine..I thought it might be the nystatin as it was a different brand name...until I got off the nystatin did I realize the only thing the nystatin was causing was burning of ulcer...I discovered it was the famotidine...I only took it 4 days maybe one time over that..and had already started cutting it down like halfing it then quartering it and removing a quarter..I had done that for 1 day and began to feel so weak...I was shocked at that..then I stayed that way and then finally on the actual 4th day went cold turkey...quit..I felt fine that day just some burning in the stomach..I was told by the pharmacy that i shouldnt have rebound because I didnt take it that long..but i did have rebound..and drank water all day...also at this time I had a sleep study done for snoring...they discovered i had nocturnal panic attacks...which I thinkn was broght on by stress but also by the ulcer ..so that next day after getting off cold turkey from the famotidine...I thought I was going to die...not from burn but from such a weakness of not sleeping and lethargy and exhaustion...that I went to the emergency...I told them everything andthey gave me demerol for pain and ativan or whatever its called for anxiety and protonix...i knew that the protonix was for me..I prayed about this...and this dr not knowing my prayers gave me some protonix...and I also went and got some to take...I was given the generic and I dont like this but i hve taken one and its ok...it cools down my ulcer so I can breathe better and not have hopefully nocturnal panic attacks or that my brain is able to shut off so I can sleep...i slept like a baby last nite...hope this continues....now...I have read all about the cabbage drink and had fully intended to make it for myself but was feeling to poorly to do it...its a lot of work...when I am able to make it....is it ok to take while taking protonix...I am going to stay on the protonix until my ulcer is healed then go down from the 40mgs to the 20mgs then get off which theer will be a big rebound...so get ready...but the ulcer will be gone and then Im going to stay on the cabbage regime and the liccorice as well and find a good probiotic that works with me....I think thse three things are good...I did read about coconut oil....if you never have....coconut oil is good for ulcers and also has a antibiotic property to it....bring it up and read about it...ok...that is my inclusion into this helpful place...thank you so much for anyone speaking to help anyoneout..I just need to know if there are any side affects of taking pantoprazole which is protonix with cabbage juice...God bless I have read all the posts on here..I have IBS..but…recently I have an ulcer that

I'm doing some research trying to help my niece who has crohns. Actually I started looking for an article that I had come across several years ago about a woman who had crohns. She and her doctor came at the disease as an inflamation of the bowel and they kept working different anti-biotics until they found the right mix. She claimed to be symptom free for over a year at the writing. However if it was such a great fix why don't you guys all know about it? I would say either it's not true or that tactic donesn't work for everyone. I just can't see her not pushing the concept out there to help others. Is anyone familiar with this story from 10 ish years ago? I would really like to re-read it and give it to TR. Thanks for the cabbage juice info, I'll be sharing this with her for sure. Good luck all, my best thoughts and wishes for each of you.

My stomach ulcer was caused by aspirin and not H. pylori. For my stomach ulcer I used : DGL (a form of licorice root extract), marshmallow root, digestive enzymes (during big meals), 20 billion ct. of probiotics. The licorice root will stimulate the stomach cells to produce more mucus, the body's natural defense against stomach acid. The marshmallow root, w/ water, coats the stomach with a protective layer, this kind of acts like a bandage for the ulcer. The digestive enzymes and probiotics help soothe the GI tract by breaking down proteins and fats into simpler compounds that the digestive tract can more easily digestive, therefore less stomach acid is needed to break your food down. I stopped taking the marshmallow root because it can prevent nutrient absorption, but that is the only side-effect using it, so space it between meals. I mainly used marshmallow root towards the beginning of the ulcer formation, it really helps relieve the upset stomach at the beginning. I have just started adding cabbage juice (literally just downed first glass) to my daily regime because it has an amino acid in its raw state called glutamine, which the GI systems uses more than any other amino acid, for healing and regeneration, also this will further enhance the healthy bacteria added to my diet, due to the natural fermentation. Dairy products can be a good source of probiotics, but with an unhealthy digestive tract, the GI system might not be able to digestive the lactose sugars from dairy, which will further upset your stomach, plus all the extra saturated fats that will be added to the diet. I have also been using bentonite, once daily, this is a clay that will cover the stomach with another protective layer on a empty stomach, about 3-4 hours after my last meal, I have found this to perform about the same as marshmallow root. It comes in a liquid form, so it is a little easier to take than than more pills. But before you starting eating clay in your back yard, try the sterilized, clean form at your local whole foods. Another one of nature's protective layer's is slippery elm, which acts like marshmallow root, but try one at a time, not all three. Then there is the synthetic form called pepto bismol, which will act as another protective layer for your stomach and has been shown to inhibit H. pylori. The main attraction to me to start using the cabbage juice is in 1949 a group of researchers at Standford University School of Medicine decided to put this virtuous vegetable to the test. In the study, 13 people with ulcers drank 1 liter of raw cabbage juice every day. They healed six times faster than people whose only treatment was the standard bland diet, which means about a week and a half of healing compared to 6-8 weeks. All of this said, not coffee, nicotine, alcohol or big meals until it is completely healed, usually 6-8 weeks, otherwise you will go back to suffering. All said, Licorice root (use DGL form), probiotics and cabbage juice, I believe would be the perfect healing combination for an Ulcer, including antibiotics if you have H. Pylori. Along with a good diet. And for my diverticulitis, I was put on antibiotics for two weeks, then followed up with fiber, probiotics, and a well rounded diet (lots of vegetables, fruits and grains), and have had not symptoms with this one since.

I am on Pariet 20mg once a day but the pain is always there, and by now, even not eating salt or any other strong spices or vinagry dressings, no coffee, pop, munchies of any kind, I am limited to eatin rice, bananas, sweet potatoes, a bit of salad with olive oil & yogurt mixed together, very bland foods. I miss my coffee and occasional glass of wine !!!! It makes socializing very limiting and dull! Will this help for this type of ulcer also?

GI test showed my allergies and the Candida was also a good thing to know about. Spit in a clean clear glass of tap water first thing of am. and if it doesn't make legs down into the water you have no candida that is causing your trouble. If you do seek help to find a way to control that. It can really take your health down. I have only been diagnosed with IBS but have had GI test and Saliva Test for Candida.

Breaking habits is hard to do. I have juiced carrots and apples but this sounds more like what I need to do, except I need the fiber of the cabbage so will instead just make the kraut.

While the Cabbage is fermenting for 3 days you want it to be room temperature, so leave it on the counter. @Cheryl - When the cabbage is fermented lots of beneficial bacteria are generated. The beneficial bacteria add to the healing properties of the drink. @ Amy – Nope. While the Cabbage is fermenting for 3 days you want it to be room temperature, so leave it on the counter.
