Is milk helpful in relieving ulcer pain?

I thought i'd ask, because its 5 thirty am here and milk is good for so many other things.

Gonna pick me up some Amoxcillin and Prilosec tomorrow when the chemists are open but yeah.

I always get sick on a sunday.......:S
Answer:
Um - no, actually, milk won't help. Follow your physician's directions, including the antibiotic he'll prescribe.

Sip some milk. Drinking a glass of skim milk during an ulcer attack may provide quick relief. "Milk works like an antacid. When it gets to the stomach, it neutralizes the acid and the pain will go away," says Dr. Herrera. Use caution, however: Some people who drink milk for ulcer pain report feeling even worse a short time later, says Dr. Herrera.
