Seeking a Permanent Cure for Peptic Ulcer: Lasting Solutions Needed

I’m a 50-year-old man who’s battled peptic ulcer disease for over a year. Standard treatments like omeprazole, antacids, and diet changes only bring temporary relief. The burning pain, bloating, and nausea always return, especially when I’m stressed or skip meals. So far I’ve completed two full courses of HP-PAC for H. pylori. I avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and NSAIDs. My diet consists of small, frequent meals like pap, boiled plantain, and fish. Yet I’m stuck in a cycle of “treat and retreat.” Has anyone fully eradicated an ulcer? What truly worked for you? Are there natural remedies—cabbage juice, honey, or specific herbs—that actually heal the mucosal lining? Could this be a misdiagnosis? Should I push for an endoscopy to check for a hiatal hernia or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome? For fellow Nigerians, how do you manage the cost of chronic care? Is there a trusted specialist or hospital in Lagos or Abuja you’d recommend? I’m seeking a durable, evidence-based protocol to help me live pain-free again. Please share your experiences or research you trust. Thank you.
