CABBAGE JUICE FOR GERD
1 YEA

[YEA] 05/20/2007: Sarah from Brussels, Belgium writes: "A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with GERD and I suffered from acid reflux and heartburn. The medication prescribed by the doctor rather worsened my situation and I suffered a number of side effects from it. I came across a site suggesting that drinking raw cabbage juice cures acid reflux and other problems related to the stomach, such as ulcer.I did further research to confirm this and decided to give it a try.

The general suggested daily dosage is about a quart [800ml] of raw cabbage juice to be taken about 4 times daily. I found that rather too much and I started with 400ml [100ml x 4].I noticed great improvement and after one week I reduced the dosage to 300ml [100ml x 3]. After about 3 weeks of the whole therapy, I decided to take only 200ml a day. Those with stomach ulcers or acute cases of acid reflux might need to take the full dosage.

I have stopped drinking cabbage juice since about 10 months now and I haven't had any serious reflux problems. For those who would like to try it, PLEASE NOTE that it is said to have strong impact on the thyroid glands [the more reason why I never consumed 800ml a day!]. Not to mention the stench - it is better stored in an air-tight water bottle and kept in the fridge. Good luck to all, and thanks for the great site."

Cabbage Juice Diet – An Ulcer Remedy

Cabbage juice diets have been used for centuries as a folk remedy for digestive tract disorders. A well known 1952 study involving peptic ulcer patients – patients who had gastric ulcers found on the lining of the stomach -- affirmed the effectiveness of the remedy. The study showed that patients who drank four glasses a day of raw cabbage juice healed in four to ten days, versus patients who received hospital stay treatments that would take about 30 days to complete. As a bonus, the patients with cabbage juice in their diet reported that the juice relieved their ulcer pain.

Cabbage juice has reportedly also been used to treat the symptoms of other gastrointestinal disorders like colitis, indigestion, and constipation. No wonder people are so interested in going on a cabbage juice diet, and what to eat when they follow the diet.
