Gen. James N. Mattis (Getty Images) United States Marine Corps Gen. James âMad Dogâ Mattis was notified that he was being replaced as commander of U.S. Central Command not by a phone call from Washington, but by a note passed to him by an aide, according to Foreign Policyâs Thomas E. Ricks. From Ricksâ report:
Research suggests that flavonoids (compounds that occur naturally in many fruits and vegetables) are an effective treatment for stomach ulcers. Foods and drinks rich in flavonoids include soybeans, legumes, red grapes, kale broccoli, apples, berries, and teas, especially green tea.
Usually, the pain occurs in the upper abdomen, but may sometimes occur below the breastbone. Fortunately, there are several natural remedies which can heal and soothe stomach ulcers without the risk of mainstream drugs. Appetite and weight loss are also common symptoms of ulcers. Other symptoms which may occur include recurrent vomiting, black stool, blood in the stool and anemia.
