What and what not to consume as an ulcer patient

Ulcer is an open sore on an external or internal surface of the body, caused by a break in the skin or mucous membrane, which fails to heal. Ulcer ranges from small, painful sores in the mouth to bedsores and serious lesions of the stomach or intestine. It is mostly caused by a bacterial infection known as a Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) and the chronic use of inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen and aspirin. Science is exploring what foods can fight this infection. These foods are only additions to antibiotics and acid-blocking medications recommended by your doctor for the treatment of ulcer. Below are some foods you can consume to fight ulcer:

• Cabbage
• Carrots
• Strawberry
• Blueberry
• Leafy greens, such as kale and spinach
• Honey
• Garlic
• Radishes
• Tumeric
• Plants based oil such as olive oil and corn oil
These foods help protect and activate your immune system and help fight the infection. Similarly, there are foods which you should limit to avoid severity or prolongation of ulcer. Some of these foods are:

• Spicy foods
• Coffee
• Chocolate
• Caffeine
• Alcohol
• Acidic foods such as citrus and tomatoes
If you suspect you have ulcer, see your doctor and get treatment. An untreated stomach ulcer can lead to more severe problem like stomach cancer and internal bleeding.
I hope you adhere strictly to these instructions and bid ulcer farewell on time.

THE LIGHT IS COME

The world was so dark,
Full of evil.
The earth was so dry,
Benched for sorrow.

Life was like hell,
A moment of silence from God.
Generations lived away,
Waiting for the chosen.

One day, a light shun from the darkness,
And darkness could not withhold it.
The eyes of men were so blind,
Only a few recognized it.

The light kept shining,
Throughout the human race.
Though many could not see it from inception,
It rules the world today.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

EVE

Streets painted with lights,
To give a glow of the season.

People tensed in work,
Anticipating the sight of the festival.

Animals breathing their last,
Destined to be used for the glory.

Winter blowing its awesome breeze,
Reminding us of the birth.

Everything working out its own duty,
‘Coz it’s Christmas eve.

Merry Christmas in advance…

MY FEAR

I was scared you’d leave
Into the thin air or
The big bush around,
Never to lay my eyes on you again.

I was scared I’d lose you,
To the world I cannot reach or
The sea I cannot swim,
As you seemed faraway already.

I was scared I’d let go,
Walking away through the narrow path or
The path that links to none,
Never to look back.

I was scared that I was scared,
Coz my mind was made up or
Lost hope in us,
As I prepared to say goodbye.

I’m happy we’re still together,
Coz my fear was defeated or
Was proved wrong,
Never to happen.

BE INDEPENDENT

      When all hope seems lost don’t ever forget you  have an  able God. When it’s  like the whole word is against  you remember  he still got your back. When  you feel deserted remember there’s  a friend  in Jesus. When you are in need you  have the great provider. When you are scared remember he’s  closer to you  than the very  air you breathe and he has given you the  authority to tread upon the  lion and  the  cobra to trample the  great lion and the serpent. When there seems to be no way don’t forget  the way maker is right  near you. When  you go through  trials  and  tribulation  remember he said he has overcome them all. When the billows are tossing  high remember he is  the  master of  them all. When it  seems there’s  no one  to turn to remember you have  an everlasting   father. When  you are falling don’t hesitate to call on him coz he promised he’d command  his angels concerning  you  to  guard you  in all your ways they would  lift you up in their hands so you would not strike  your  foot against a stone.
      This is the definition of an unconditional love. God is nearer than we could ever imagine all we need do is realise our true identity, we have so much downgraded  ourselves  to the  extent  that we have  forgotten we are God’s children he’s our heavenly father therefore we are entitled to his inheritance. How to enjoy  this  great  privilege is to ASK He told us already ask and it shall be given to you seek and  you will  find knock  and  the  door shall be opened for those  who ask will surely receive. So why the stress? he knows what we need, ours is to ask and we’d  be  given. Yes it’s  that  simple, but because  we’ve lost our identity, we tend to go through  unrequired processes which  leads us astray. You don’t  need to  go anywhere  or to anyone  just to get something from God the veil separating us from him has been removed by the blood he shed on the  cross of calvary you can talk one on one with the Lord. 
        Let me make this straight what you need is yours already, yours is to ask for it and it would  be  given . Mind you whatever you ask for and you are not given is not yours. Remember he is the all wise he knows our requirements even  before  we ask. God is  ever loving  and  compassionate do not let sin hinder you from receiving  from him it’s  never too late to ask for  forgiveness and  repent for  Paul after all the sins he committed in his old life as Saul still said confidently after being  born again   “I’ve  wronged no man” this is  because in christ all things  have  passed away  and everything  has become new. The  blood of Jesus  has washed us clean and  sanctified  us therefore we are  a new creation with  no flaw. Let’s  not be decived by the  devil for his mission  is  to  steal to kill and  destroy  and part of  his tricks is making  us feel unworthy of God’s  love, salvation and promises. He constantly  reminds  you of the sins you have committed he tries to  make you  feel filthy and  unworthy to go to the precence of God. As a child of God don’t  ever forget that once you  are genuinely  repentant of your sins the  precence  of  God  is accessible when you  are  free you  are free indeed.  Ask for  God’s  forgiveness he would  in his infinite mercy wash you  clean  by his blood abstain from  sin so you  would  be without blemish for it is written  shall you continue  to  live  in  sin and  say the Grace of God  should  abound ? Definitely no Let’s not take God’s  grace for granted. In conclusion  know  your  worth  as God’s  child never feel less about  yourself you  are the image  of  God.

SELF CONFIDENCE

I don’t need the world’s approval,
I don’t need to be pushed by people,
I don’t need my background to decide what I become,
All I need is a belief in myself,
Accompanied with hard work and steadfastness,
And I’ll make exploits.
