Is non fat yogurt good for ulcer?

Ulcers are open sores that can develop in the lining of the stomach, esophagus, or intestines. They are often caused by an infection with the bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), or by the use of certain medications, such as aspirin and ibuprofen.

Non-fat yogurt is a good source of protein, calcium, and probiotics. Probiotics are live bacteria that are thought to have health benefits, such as improving digestive health and boosting the immune system. Some studies have suggested that probiotics may also help to treat ulcers.

One study found that taking a probiotic supplement containing Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum for 4 weeks significantly reduced the severity of ulcers in patients with H. pylori infection. Another study found that taking a probiotic supplement containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus for 8 weeks helped to prevent ulcers from developing in patients who were taking aspirin.

While these studies suggest that probiotics may be helpful in treating and preventing ulcers, more research is needed to confirm these findings. However, non-fat yogurt is a healthy food that is rich in nutrients that are essential for good health, and it may be beneficial for people with ulcers.

If you have an ulcer, talk to your doctor about whether non-fat yogurt may be a good choice for you.
