Amy’s condition is very simple: gastric ulcer. In the very end of his medicine, I admonished him in accordance with past practices: “During the medication, do not eat sour, sweet thing.” Amy asked: “I remember reading an article on the Internet, said that eating honey can promote stomach ulcer healing, honey sweet, but oh. ”

 In theory, sweets into the stomach, it will turn the stomach acid, thus increasing the acidity, that is, patients with ulcers should not eat sweets reasons. Gastric acid secretion of honey on a two-way in vitro. After taking the honey, acid is not immediately increased, it has a lag. This is why we choose to eat honey 1 hour before meals, the reason why, after eating food you can and in excess of stomach acid.

 ”If so, then I just eat honey and treatment of stomach good.” Amy looked very excited.

 ”That will not work.” I said, “This is because: first, causing ulcer disease for many reasons. Gastric mucosal protective effect of the decline is only one of the reasons. Ulcer disease in the acute phase, acid is the most importantly, when the use of acidic honey becomes outdated. Second, from the Chinese view, the ulcers Qi stagnation, damp heat, blood stasis, phlegm, qi, yin and many other types. Honey is not suitable for all ulcer disease. such as diarrhea, upper abdominal fullness feeling of people not fit to eat honey. “
