So I've recently undergone a medical change that has really rocked my world.
I recently experienced bleeding in my stomach due to NSAIDs. I now have a dietary restrictions and am having a hard time figuring out meals that will work for me.
Does anyone on here have a similar story and would be willing to share some foods and meals I could possibly eat?
Animals for attention
Thank you❣️

Day 21 - Blood Loss
When Elliot goes back to collect his things after the breakup, he doesn't expect to walk into that. Whumptober 2023! I’m using the @ailesswhumptober's prompt list. This story is about my OC Cliff - here’s his profile if you’re so inclined: https://toyhou.se/23741453.cliff. Takes place in Cliff’s junior year of undergraduate degree, the breakup. It's a long one! Also a part 1/companion piece to Day 16 in Elliot's POV.
TWs: Vomit
Why was it so cold? Cliff pulled his duvet closer around his aching body. His fingers were so stiff it was as if they had frozen. Cliff knew something was wrong, but it was as if his mind couldn’t form a thought correctly in order to process what his options were. Elliot was gone. Cliff had messed up, again. It wasn’t supposed to go like this. Everything they’d done together, all the progress they made - gone,just because Cliff hadn’t been able to say what Elliot said so easily out loud. He’s my boyfriend. 
Cliff vomited over the side of the bed where the trash can already held evidence of several other times his stomach had betrayed him today. Everything burned. Not only his stomach, but his chest, his eyes and mouth. This was it. It was the ultimate fuck up. Elliot wasn’t coming back. He wasn’t answering Cliff’s phone calls or texts. He didn’t want anything to do with Cliff, ever again. 
A ragged, painful sob crawled up Cliff’s throat between retches. Nothing was coming up anymore except for hot stomach acid. Despite feeling like he was crying, no tears were coming out. Was it really possible to cry so much that you didn’t have any tears left, Cliff wondered? He vaguely knew that he needed to drink something, but the fever made everything so confusing. The ceiling seemed to have turned into water. When had he ended up on the floor?
“If you ever really loved me, you wouldn’t have done this to me,” Cliff thought he heard Elliot’s angry voice in his head. “I don’t ever want to see you again. You won’t ever see me smile again. You won’t ever kiss me again. This is your fault, all your fault. Cliff? What the hell. Are you there?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Cliff was crying again. Ah, so he did have some tears left.
Whatever ghost that seemed to be intent on torturing him scoffed in Elliot’s voice. “Stop apologizing to me. You made your true feelings clear with your actions.”
“I never wanted to hurt you. Not now. Not then. Believe me.”
A frustrated sigh. “It’s too late for that. Look, I need to come get my stuff. Can you please leave for a couple of hours so I don’t have to see you?”
Cliff’s eyes blinked open. His mind slowly struggled to the realization that this request was too reasonable to have come just from a guilty hallucination. Cliff turned his head slightly to the side and realized it hadn’t been in his head - he was holding his phone and Elliot really was there on the phone, although Cliff couldn't remember how they'd started talking in the first place. “You’re coming?” The words spilled from his mouth more pathetically than anything Cliff had ever said. Desperation. Desire.
“Not for you, I said for my things,” Cliff heard Elliot say. He could almost see Elliot’s cross face and felt like laughing. “Cliff, I said for my things. Are you still there?”
“I’m here,” Cliff whispered, falling back onto his back and closing his eyes. The cold dorm room floor seemed to be swallowing him in a way that was both frightening and comforting. Was the last thing he was going to hear before he died Elliot’s voice of contempt? He certainly deserved it.
Elliot’s voice came back over the phone. “So will you leave or not?”
This time Cliff did laugh. Or something that was supposed to be a laugh, but was closer to a hysterical sob. “I’m sorry, I can’t.”
The irritation in Elliot’s voice grew. “What? What do you mean you can’t?” 
“I... I can’t,” Cliff mumbled again. He couldn't get up. It was getting harder to follow the conversation. What were they talking about again? Oh, right, Elliot wanted to pick up his things. Because he was going to leave, and this time he wasn’t coming back. There was a pause so long that Cliff thought maybe Elliot’s voice had been a hallucination after all.
“Where are you?” Something had changed in the tone. 
“Just here,” Cliff heard himself say faintly. It was as if someone else had said those words from very far away. The cold in his body was being replaced by a numbness that he had never felt before. 
“Just where?”
Cliff was too tired to answer, or move from his position on the floor. He was tired of dealing with this. It was better to just sleep. He thought he could hear Elliot’s voice saying other things to him, but he wasn’t sure what. The voice alone made Cliff’s lips twitch into a smile, though - the first one in days. But was Elliot’s yelling now? Cliff didn’t understand what there possibly was to yell about anymore. Elliot had been right. Cliff couldn’t handle their relationship. It was too precious and Cliff was too clumsy. It was over. And if it was over, he didn’t know what else was worth fighting for in this world.
Because I love you.
I love you.
“I love you...”
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Elliot had thirty missed calls and several pages worth of text messages from Cliff that he had had ignored this week. The absence of Cliff’s attempts to contact him the past two days was more noticeable than when he’d been ignoring Cliff’s telltale text message sound and ringtone. Elliot was truly frustrated. He loved Cliff, but he couldn’t do this anymore. They’d gone so far, and done so much together. He’s been foolish enough to believe that they were past this, but he was wrong. If things hadn’t changed by now, Elliot had to give up hope they ever would. It was too painful to keep waiting. 
Elliot rolled to his side on Kai's roommate’s bed he’d been sleeping on for the past few days. It was lumpy and all wrong - Elliot missed his own bed, his white and floral duvet, and the pillows that Cliff hated for being useless for sleeping on. He missed how his own bed smelled - a mix of his own cologne and Cliff’s own warm scent...
“Oh, stop that,” Elliot scolded himself out loud. It wasn’t good to keep thinking about these things. Although he did need to go back to the dorm room eventually to get his things. He’d brought most of his essentials in his backpack when he’d stormed out, but Elliot was getting tired of wearing Kai's clothes. It wasn’t fair that he had to go without just because Cliff was an idiot, Elliot thought crossly. He should just march in, grab his stuff and leave without a word. But then, he didn’t want Cliff to argue with him. And he didn’t want to see Cliff cry again. He didn’t want to see Cliff at all.
Elliot sighed. It was better to be a big boy and just give Cliff a heads up so he could be out of the room when Elliot came back. He quickly sent Cliff a text before he could change his mind.
[Need clothes. Please be out of room from 3-5]
Waiting for a reply was like twisting a knife in his side slowly, just to torture himself, so Elliot plugged his phone in to charge and went to the kitchen without it. It was a Sunday, so there was no reason for Cliff not to see the text right away, but Elliot figured it wasn’t good for him to wait for a reply so intently. Distraction was needed; dirty dishes were, for once, useful. As Elliot washed the plates in the sink, he told himself that he couldn’t hang on to Cliff’s reply like it mattered to him. And no matter what Cliff said, Elliot told himself, he wouldn’t go back to him. 
But then Elliot finished the dishes, and there was still no text. And then one hour passed. Two hours. Elliot kept becoming more irritated and tense with each minute. Three o’clock came and there was still no reply. Frustrated and sure that Cliff was doing this to him on purpose, Elliot decided it was time to try a phone call. Surely Cliff would answer. After all, it was Cliff who’d been blowing up his phone all these days. He swallowed the nervous lump in his throat and hit the call button.
The phone rang and rang but eventually went to voicemail. Now more pissed than nervous, Elliot hit redial. Again, no answer. “Dammit, Cliff!” Elliot barked angrily at his phone. Once again he considered giving up trying to call and just showing up. But the distaste for seeing Cliff face to face was so strong that Elliot touched the call button to try and get a hold of Cliff one more time. 
One....two... three rings. Elliot sighed. Cliff wasn’t going to pick up, he thought. But then the ringing stopped and the line went silent. For a moment Elliot thought his phone had died, but when he picked it up he realized he could hear someone else breathing on the other line. Oh, Elliot was mad. Why wasn’t Cliff saying anything?!
“Cliff? What the hell. Are you there?” It took a long time for him to get an answer.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” He was crying again, Elliot realized with frustration. This was exactly why he didn’t want to meet in person.
“Stop apologizing to me. You made your true feelings clear with your actions.”
“I never wanted to hurt you. Believe me.”
Elliot sighed in frustration. If he didn’t hang up soon, he was worried he might start believing Cliff. He hated hearing Cliff cry. The sound was so wrong that even now it tugged insistently at his heart strings. “It’s too late for that,” Elliot forced himself to say quickly. “Look, I need to come get my stuff. Can you please leave for a couple of hours so I don’t have to see you?”
There was a long pause, so long that Elliot started to wonder if Cliff was still there. Then - “You’re coming?” 
“Not for you, I said for my things,” Elliot corrected him crossly. The nerve of this guy. “Cliff, I said for my things. Are you still there?”
“I’m here.”
“So will you leave or not?” Elliot asked again. He waited for an answer, but wasn’t expecting the sound that came out of Cliff instead. Eli knew Cliff was crying, but it sounded different than anything he’d ever heard come from Cliff before. There was this strangled gasping that scared him. 
The concern that Elliot was trying so hard to keep from forming became too powerful to ignore when he heard Cliff say faintly, “I’m sorry, I can’t.”
“What? What do you mean you can’t?” Elliot asked.
“I... I can’t.”
There was something wrong. Cliff had never sounded like this before. He didn’t seem to be making sense. And although Elliot hated himself for it, he couldn’t leave it alone. He cared too much, too naturally. It made him as angry at himself as he was at Cliff. 
“Where are you?” Elliot asked.
“Just here.”
“Just where? Cliff? Answer me. Just where?” 
No answer. Elliot’s concern grew stronger. “Cliff, knock it off. Where are you? Are you drunk?” There were only shuffling noises over the phone, like Cliff was moving around. Suddenly, Eli heard a terrible gagging sound. “Cliff! What’s going on? Cliff, answer me.”
“I love you...”
Elliot froze. What? What did Cliff mean, he loved him? After all the times Elliot had told Cliff that, Cliff wanted to reciprocate it now? As furious as that made him, Elliot knew in his heart that something strange was happening. Cliff didn’t sound drunk. There were more gagging noises.
“Cliff, are you throwing up or something?” Elliot asked, trying to remain calm. His tone was still cross, but worry was clearly starting to seep in. “Cliff, stop it. This isn’t funny.” No answer. “Cliff? Cliff!” The line was still connected. Cliff hadn’t hung up on him. But there were no noises over the phone except for what sounded like occasional gasping. 
No matter how mad Elliot was at Cliff, he couldn’t just hang up and pretend nothing was happening. “Fuck!” Elliot swore, throwing one of Kai's hoodies on and shoving his feet into his Toms. “You better not be messing with me, Cliff,” Elliot said, but his tone no longer matched his venomous words. “I’m coming now.”
The bike ride from Kai's off-campus townhome to the dorms felt much longer than five minutes. Elliot stayed on the phone with Cliff, desperately trying to listen for any signs of life while he pedaled frantically down the road. The only reason Elliot knew Cliff was still there, somewhere, were the uneven gasps that he heard sometimes. It was torture.
Elliot burst through their building’s lobby and ran up the stairs to their second floor room faster than the elevator could have brought him. He banged on the door even as he fumbled with his keys to unlock it. “Cliff, it’s me, answer me,” Elliot shouted. 
The door finally unlocked and Elliot swung it open with a bang. The sound seemed to echo in his ears for a long time. There Cliff was. There was so much blood. Elliot screamed and his mind went blank.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Cliff was asleep for what felt like forever. He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn’t. They were too heavy. Same for his limbs: it was as if they were replaced with iron pipes. He was so uncomfortable. His mouth was so dry. He could feel himself breathing faster, starting to panic. Something was choking him, which only made him struggle harder.
“It’s okay, Cliff.”
The voice was like a lifeline that he’d been looking for endlessly. He felt a dull sensation and eventually realized that someone was holding his hand. Cliff vaguely felt his own fingers twitch.
“Shh. I’ll be here until you wake up.”
He had no choice but to trust that comforting voice. What else could he do? Cliff relaxed and soon he was asleep again.

Why does your stomach go overboard with acid when you’re stressed? How did this evolve? Were my ancestors fighting off threats using projectile vomiting?

Heal Painful Stomach Ulcers Naturally - 15 Soothing Home Remedies
Tumblr media
Stomach ulcers, also known as peptic ulcers, are painful sores that develop in the lining of the stomach, lower esophagus, or small intestine. The most common symptom is a burning or gnawing pain in the abdomen, often felt between meals or during the night. While the exact cause is unclear, factors like H. pylori bacteria, NSAIDs, smoking, and stress can increase risk. If you’re suffering from a stomach ulcer, try these 15 natural home remedies to find relief and help your gut heal faster:
1. Follow the BRAT Diet
When you have a stomach ulcer, it’s important to eat bland, mild, soft foods that won’t further aggravate your gastrointestinal tract. Stick to the BRAT diet, which stands for bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. These binding foods help coat and soothe your stomach lining. Avoid spicy, acidic, or greasy foods as well as caffeine and alcohol, which can trigger pain.
2. Drink Aloe Vera Juice
Known for its gastroprotective effects, aloe vera juice can help heal stomach ulcers by decreasing inflammation and stimulating cellular regeneration in the stomach lining. Drink 2-3 ounces of aloe vera juice 20 minutes before meals. You can also open an aloe vera leaf to extract the gel and take 1 tablespoon daily. The compounds in aloe vera like polysaccharides inhibit H. pylori growth.
3. Have Chamomile Tea
With its anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties, chamomile can relax the stomach and intestines to relieve ulcer pain. Drink a cup of warm chamomile tea after meals and before bed. You can also prepare a concentrated tea by steeping 2 chamomile tea bags in 1 cup hot water for 10 minutes. Sip this tea throughout the day to promote healing.
4. Chew on Licorice Root
Licorice root contains triterpenoid compounds shown to protect and rebuild the stomach lining. Chew on a small piece of deglycyrrhizinated licorice root for 15-20 minutes before meals to coat your stomach. You can also brew licorice root tea by simmering 1-2 teaspoons of dried licorice in hot water for 10 minutes. Sip this 2-3 times per day to diminish ulcer pain.
5. Have Honey and Cinnamon
Honey is an effective natural wound healer, while cinnamon is packed with antioxidants that exhibit gastroprotective effects. Mix together 1-2 teaspoons each honey and cinnamon. Slowly lick the mixture off a spoon several times per day, allowing it to coat your throat and stomach to promote healing. Both ingredients have antimicrobial effects to fight off H. pylori as well.
6. Apply a Warm Castor Oil Pack
Castor oil contains anti-inflammatory ricinoleic acid shown to protect against stomach ulcers. For a soothing compress, soak a piece of flannel in castor oil and wring out the excess. Place the cloth over your abdomen and apply a hot water bottle or heating pad over it for 15-20 minutes. The moist heat boosts circulation to accelerate healing. Do this 2-3 times a week.
7. Sip on Cabbage Juice
Cabbage juice contains compounds like S-methylmethionine and vitamin U, which help strengthen and repair your stomach lining. Drink 1⁄2 to 1 cup of fresh cabbage juice daily. Be sure to drink it on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before meals so it can coat the lining directly. Cabbage juice provides a nourishing environment for your gut to heal.
8. Stay Hydrated with Slippery Elm Tea
The mucilage from slippery elm bark coats and protects your stomach and intestinal tract. Stir 1-2 teaspoons of slippery elm powder into hot water and drink several cups per day, especially before meals. Slippery elm forms a slick gel that adheres to the stomach lining to ease inflammation and pain from ulcers.
9. Apply a Cold Compress
Applying something cold can decrease stomach ulcer pain by numbing the nerves in your abdomen. Wrap some ice cubes or a frozen gel pack in a thin towel and place it on your stomach for 10-15 minutes as needed for pain relief. You can also gently rub an ice pop over the sore area. Just be careful not to place anything extremely cold directly on your bare skin.
10. Drink Marshmallow Root Tea
The mucilaginous properties of marshmallow root can coat, soothe, and heal stomach ulcers from the inside out. Add 1-2 tablespoons of dried marshmallow root to 2 cups boiling water. Simmer for 15 minutes, then strain. Sip this tea after meals and before bedtime to ease your discomfort. The thick mucilage adheres to the stomach lining for healing effects.
11. Have Some Probiotic Yogurt
Eating probiotic-rich yogurt can help balance your gut bacteria, which may promote stomach ulcer healing. Go for a plain, unsweetened yogurt and aim for at least 2-3 servings per day. Probiotics like lactobacillus and bifidobacterium can inhibit H. pylori growth while restoring protective bacteria to your microbiome. This creates a less hospitable environment for ulcers.
12. Mix up a Baking Soda Drink
Baking soda is a simple home remedy shown to neutralize stomach acid and relieve ulcer pain. Stir 1/2 teaspoon baking soda into a glass of warm water until dissolved. Drink this mixture slowly once or twice per day, ideally on an empty stomach to allow it to coat your stomach lining before meals. The alkaline baking soda reduces acidity for pain relief.
13. Have Some Papaya
Papaya contains the digestive enzyme papain, which can help break down foods without irritating your gastrointestinal tract. Eat some fresh papaya slices or drink 2-3 ounces of papaya juice daily. You can also take a papaya enzyme supplement before larger meals to support digestion. Papaya reduces inflammation and halts ulcer progression.
14. Stay Away from NSAIDs
Common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen are a frequent cause of stomach ulcers. Read medication labels closely and avoid any NSAIDs, as they inhibit prostaglandins needed for gut protection. Consider switching to gentler analgesics like acetaminophen, but consult your doctor first. Refrain from all NSAIDs while your ulcer heals.
15. Manage Your Stress Levels
Stress doesn’t directly cause stomach ulcers, but it can increase stomach acid production and weaken your gut lining’s defenses. Try to minimize daily stressors, practice relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga, get adequate sleep, and lean on your social support system. Learning to manage stress can help diminish abdominal pain.
While home treatments can help soothe discomfort during the healing process, see a doctor if:
Pain persists for more than 2 weeks
You vomit blood or pass tarry stools
Ulcer symptoms return frequently
You develop any concerning new symptoms
If lifestyle and dietary changes aren’t providing enough relief, your doctor may recommend prescription medicines or other medical interventions to eradicate the H. pylori infection and allow your stomach ulcer to heal properly. But incorporating some of these natural remedies into your daily routine can support recovery.
