Stress, tension, some medications, some infections, exceedingly spicy foods, and a host of other things can contribute to excessive acid in the stomach and even the development of stomach ulcers.

Excessive acidity and stomach ulcers were not invented in the twenty-first century. They’ve been around a very long time. Medical science has treated ulcers in a variety of ways over the years. The latest wrinkle on the medical scene regarding stomach ulcers is that they are really caused by a virus.

That one is still being debated, but meanwhile people are suffering from the pain that excessive acidity and ulcers cause. The tried-and-true home remedies for stomach pain, acidity, and ulcers include the use of bananas, Wood Apple, Lime, Cabbage, Drumstick, various vegetable juices, and milk (cows milk, goats milk, and almond milk).

Bananas and milk are the two most popular home remedies used worldwide for the relief of stomach pain that is caused by excessive acid or ulcers. Jokingly (I think), bananas have been said to contain Vitamin U…for ulcers.

Bananas are basic in nature as opposed to acidic. Oranges would be considered acidic. Bananas neutralize the hydrochloric acid that is naturally present in the stomach. Cows milk, goats milk, and almond milk are all basic-based foods. They are all soothing to the stomach and help to absorb and neutralize stomach acid.

Stomach acid irritates the lining of the stomach. When there is less acid, there is, of course, less irritation. Fortunately for those who suffer from excess stomach acidity and stomach ulcers, a diet of milk and bananas will supply almost all of the needed nutrients. Those who suffer from prolonged stomach pain and extreme stomach acidity should consult with their doctors. Ulcers can cause other even more serious problems.
