Peptic ulcers are often a side effect of having too much
stress, smoking, excessive alcohol usage, and even
bacteria. Whatever might be the cause—stomach ulcers
affect nearly 10% of the population in America. The
perception is that bland foods are part of the treatment is
not entirely true. Here are a few flavorful recipes that
you might enjoy.
Baked Chicken Breast
Since some peptic ulcers are agitated by fatty foods, it's
nearly an added benefit that most of the meals you will be
preparing will be low or fat free. Baked chicken is always
a savory and healthy choice.
Ingredients:
2 c. of diced cooked chicken breast
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese (fresh or pre-shredded)
1 large can of cream of celery soup
1 c. skimmed or 2% milk
1/2 c. low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1 c. long-grain white rice (cooked)
Oil
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the milk, Parmesan
cheese, and half of the cheddar cheese (1/4 cup). Add the
chicken and celery soup. Mix in cooked rice. Coat the
baking dish with oil and add the rice mixture. Top off with
the remaining (1/4 cup) shredded cheese. Bake for 35 - 40
minutes.
Grilled Marinated Steak
You shouldn't have to give up your "meat and potatoes"
lifestyle altogether. So, here is a recipe that's sure to
satisfy the meat-lovers in your house without requiring
anyone to "pay the price" later.
Ingredients:
4 lbs. of flank steak
1/4 c. vegetable or olive oil
1/2 c. light soy sauce
2 tbsp. brown sugar
Preparation:
Place the steak into a container large enough to marinade.
Combine oil, light soy sauce, and brown sugar in a bowl and
blend well. Pour mixture over the steak, making sure meat
is completely coated. Cover marinade dish with plastic wrap
and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Light
your grill—how else are you going to cook a steak?
Remove the steak from the marinade and grill to appropriate
temperature.
** When buying the streak remember to buy "lean" steak with
a good bit of marbling and not a lot of fat. Ask your
butcher or meat department stocker to help with this. Once
you have explained your dietary requirements, they will be
more than willing to help.**
Angel food Pudding
What's dinner without dessert? Try BORING! Here is a nice
combination of bread pudding and angel food cake. It might
not be the absolute healthiest thing out there, but it's
not the worst either. And it doesn't taste like cardboard.
Ingredients:
1 angel food cake
6 cups cold milk (or skim milk)
1 package instant chocolate pudding
1 package instant vanilla pudding
2 bars Butterfinger bars (crushed)—You can also use
Chic-o-Stix candy if you wish to avoid more chocolate.
Preparation:
Cut the angel food cake into 1 x 1 inch squares and place
at the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch dish. Prepare the chocolate
and vanilla puddings in separate bowls according to
directions. When they're ready, pour the pudding over the
cake cubes. Sprinkle on half of the crushed candy. Spread
the rest of the cake cubes over candy and top with vanilla
pudding. Sprinkle with remaining candy and chill until
you're ready to serve.
Having an ulcer doesn't mean a strict diet of nothing but
bland rice and broth. If you don't take care of yourself,
though, that could be where you're heading. Listen to your
body—particularly your stomach—and take it easy
on the foods that affect you adversely.
