Can the diet be attempted with a stomach ulcer?
The diet has been used specifically for stomach ulcers. The diet was originally developed by Stanley Burroughs to help cure a patient of stomach ulcers. Lemon juice is one of the best alkalizing foods there is, which is counterintuitive since it is acidic until it is broken down in the stomach. Since ulcers have several different causes however, we always suggest that you check with your doctor first. If you get their permission to do the diet we recommend doing it under the surveillance of a health professional.
