Guys watch out for this bacterium. Its a devil. ikikushika ndio utajua h.pylori sio ya mama yako bwana (duale, 2014).
You are given some medications that make you feel like you are about to die. Some people even get saved.
This bacterium is the most common cause of stomach and duodenum ulcers as well as gastritis. I bet most of ya’all think ulcers only results from stress. I used to think so too. In worse situations, H.pylori infection can lead to stomach cancer.
My advice:
Avoid alcohol and kissing… yeah avoid kissing random people. The bacterium can be spread through saliva …I know some will be like avoid alcohol and kissing?. shoot! let me get the bacterium… alright, knock yourself out!
Avoid smoking cigarettes, shisha is also included. Smoking Shisha aint cool as you think.
Avoid over-using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as Ibubrufen…(am a victim here… I take brufens for cramps). These medications damage the protective mucous layer in the stomach. This enables the strong stomach acid to damage underlying stomach cells.
Watch out what you eat: Ensure that you eat a balanced diet. Fruits, vegetables, and less starches.
Avoid lots of fried foods such as fries and chicken. Watu wa Galitos, KFC, Chicken Inn and the rest you are at risk.
When serving food, ensure that half of the plate is vegetables. Hapo ndipo itabidi umeanza kukula lots of carrots, spinach, managu aka osuga(sp), terere, kunde, brocolli, cabbage and the rest.
Who said cabbage makes women watery? Thats bullshit. Cabbage has a lot of healthy benefits. Actually, you should consider making carrot and cabbage smoothie. This juice strengthens the mucous layer in the stomach. You can also try Brocolli juice, boil the brocolli kidogo before juicing. Add a banana to make it sweet kiasi.
Avoid lots of processed foods: Sugar, sodas etc. Try to eat brown bread and brown rice. Substitute sugar with raw/organic honey.
Avoid mwirru…yeah eating those sausages, mayai, cereals etc sold on the streets. Try your best to eat home made foods.
Boil water: Its important that you drink clean water and observe strict hygienic measures. Wash your utensils thoroughly.
Why am I telling you all these?
Well, cause I care. and I would never want anyone to undergo that awful experience. Not even my worst enemies(names withheld).
There seems to be a break out of this disease. I guess cause of the lifestyle people are living.
