Probiotics
Although probiotics from food sources are fine, the use of probiotic supplements during the healing process and subsequently for maintenance can be helpful in boosting intake. Good probiotic bacteria can help to maintain bacterial balance in the body and reduce the damage caused by H. Pylori.
Probiotics can speed up ulcer healing time by helping to facilitate the formation of new blood vessels that improve the transportation of healing nutrients and cells to the ulcer injury site. While there is no proven dose of probiotics, experts recommend a daily colony-forming unit (CFU) range of 200 million to 100 billion. While probiotics may be needed for healing for only four to six weeks, they may be taken on a long-term basis to help prevent recurrence and promote good health.
