Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My age is 28 and I started working out because I was attempting to lose fat.
I need a diet plan that will help me lose weight and get some results. I recently tried detoxifying water, which has water, lemon, mint, ginger, and cucumber in a two-liter bottle, and I am now drinking it daily. I need a weekly diet chart that I can follow. For your information, I experienced jaundice ten years ago and recently suffered from Ulcer as a starting step. I believe you can assist me with these specifics.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your situation is a bit complicated but I will try to share one of my successful diagnoses with you. Increased amounts of bilirubin in the blood related to jaundice is a matter to cure so much fat around the liver interferes with detoxification and also increases the fat and the weight. Since you suffer from peptic ulcer disease as well you can eat the following :
You can treat ulcers. A doctor will recommend antibiotics to kill the bacteria, a medical herbalist will recommend herbal antibiotics such as goldenseal. Carefully controlling your diet is crucial to successful treatment. This is to make sure that your stomach produces less acid when digesting your food. Eating large meals requires the stomach to produce large amounts of stomach acid. So it is best to eat small meals. Ideally, you should be having five to six small meals a day and not two or three large ones. Your meals should be low in fat and sugar and high in fiber. A diet based on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is just that. The reason for avoiding fatty foods is that they are harder for you to digest, so your body then produces more stomach acid and aggravates your condition. Foods that are low in fat can speed up your recovery. Herbal teas will also help you to feel more comfortable and support the body's healing process, especially herbs such as marshmallow root, licorice, chamomile, and peppermint. I would suggest you to not take red meat. It can be fatty, which will make your ulcer worse. Meat also contains a lot of protein and, even if you do not have an ulcer, it takes longer to digest. Because it takes longer, it stays in the stomach for longer - therefore more acid is released to digest it. Most red meat is higher in fat content than white meat. You can not always see this as the fat is marbled right through the meat, giving it its flavor. So just trimming off visible fat is not enough. Ideally, avoid red meat until your ulcer has healed. You need protein in your diet. Eat white meats such as chicken or turkey and fish. Remember to remove the fatty skin from the chicken. Oily fish, like salmon, mackerel, sardines, and herring contain omega-3 fatty acids. They help to reduce the risk of ulcers by producing compounds called prostaglandins, that help to protect the lining of the stomach and intestines. You can also use low-fat cheese, yogurt, and peanut butter, as well as tofu and other soy products. I would suggest you take fruits and vegetables. Eat more vegetables and fruit, such as carrots, kale, broccoli, red/green peppers, cabbage juice, grapes, apricots, and kiwi fruit, for their beta-carotene and vitamin C content, to help protect the lining of the stomach and intestine. Many fruits such as berries contain high levels of antioxidants which lower the risk of ulcers and ease symptoms when an ulcer has already developed. There is a lot of scientific evidence that seaweeds have an antiulcer effect. Vitamin E from foods like wheat germ, hazelnuts, cold-pressed sunflower seed oil, and soybean oil, will help along with zinc, found in seafood and whole grains. Amino acids also have a healing action. Good food sources include seaweed, wheat germ, cheddar cheese, almonds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds. Alternatively, L-Glutamine can be taken to help an ulcer improve. You can take caffeinated foods and drinks that contain, like chocolate, coffee, and soft drinks, which can make your ulcer worse. Avoid them. Some people even find decaf coffee irritating.
You can take dairy products. Which are high in fat. Avoid them or use low-fat alternatives.
I would suggest cutting out smoking and alcohol. They interfere with your stomach lining and increase the production of stomach acid. you may test your lipid profile and take prescribed medication for that in most cases when a lipid profile is high keeps the body overweight and difficult to decrease so it's useless to have any nutritional plan until treatment your underlying conditions
Anything else feel free to contact me back
I hope things will be better.
Best of luck
Thank you.
Regards.
