Ulcerated duodenum

Hi my husband was diagnosed with an ulcerated duodenum over 10 years ago, he had weight gain and was told to loose 10 kg before they would operate so he did (and it was extremely hard work and now I know why) but when he went back he was told to loose another 10kg, well to say he was fuming is an understatement and because of this he never went back to get it sorted.

He suffers with acid every day and takes omoprazole, he has also gained about 5 stone over the years,.

I want to know what I can do to help him, is there a natural route we can take? Or will he need surgery, I would love to hear from anyone who has suffered with this, thank you in advance 😊

    Wow, I had erosive esophagus twice in my life. However, this case of whatever is the worse. Years ago I was able to use natural methods to heal, nowadays nothing works.  

    Surgery on what? I know they can do surgery for a a flaccid sphincter.  Well good luck.
