In case of using honey, make sure to use raw honey. It is easy to find a variety of ways to include honey in your normal diet as well. It helps to reduce the inflammation in the stomach.

Keep a habit of including honey in your regular meals in any form as it is good for health and helps protect your system against many diseases and allergies.
High Fiber:
Food containing high fiber such as oat, barley, lentils, carrots, beans, soya products is very good and effective in reducing the cause of the duodenal ulcers.

Any fruit which is rich in vitamin A should be eaten regularly throughout the day. Some of the best examples are watermelon, peaches, carrot juice, raw cabbage, oranges, and blackberries, since all of these fruits reduce the risk of duodenal ulcers. One can have these fruits either in the form of liquids like juices or as raw fruits in salads or as a snack. Always make sure that the fruits are properly washed before you eat them.
