Does honey help with stomach ulcers?

Honey can be used by patients with gastric ulcers to promote ulcer healing, but it should not be used as a medicine to treat gastric ulcers. After the appearance of gastric ulcer, you need to cooperate with gastroenterologist to use anti-ulcer medication, the first choice is acid suppressant combined with gastric mucosal protector, such as H2 receptor antagonist or proton pump inhibitor, including omeprazole, lansoprazole, ranitidine, nizatidine, etc. In the case of gastric ulcers caused by H. pylori infection, formal H. pylori eradication treatment with quadruple therapy, such as PPI plus bismuth, plus two antibiotics, needs to be given. Only after the eradication of H. pylori can the ulcer healing be promoted, and it can also play a role in preventing ulcer recurrence, so that the ulcer can be completely cured. So gastric ulcer patients must not simply use honey for treatment, but must formally cooperate with the doctor using medication.
