Why This Book Exists
The Information That Should Have Been Yours From Day One
Peptic ulcer disease affects an estimated 60–80% of Nigerian adults — and rates across Ghana, Cameroon, and wider West Africa are equally alarming. Yet most people suffering from ulcers are given a prescription, a list of things to avoid, and sent home with zero practical guidance for how to actually live with — and recover from — this condition.
Nobody tells you that the milk you're drinking is making it worse. Nobody explains that the ibuprofen you take for every headache is silently eroding your stomach lining. Nobody gives you a culturally relevant meal plan built around the foods you actually eat — okra soup, ogbono, unripe plantain, ewedu, moin moin.
Stop the Burn was written to close that gap — completely. It brings together the latest clinical science on H. pylori, gastric acid, and mucosal healing, and translates it into practical, culturally grounded guidance for the Nigerian and West African experience.
"This isn't a foreign diet plan with quinoa and almond butter. This is your kitchen — okra, unripe plantain, moringa, ogbono, crayfish — turned into a 30-day healing protocol backed by real science."
In 10 comprehensive chapters and a full 30-day meal plan, you will have everything you need to understand your condition, make the right food choices, manage social situations, and know exactly when a stomach symptom has become a medical emergency.
