[Effectiveness of peptic ulcer diet therapy using rations containing whole mare's and camel's milk]

Diets enriched with whole mare and camel's milk were used for the management of peptic ulcer patients. A total of 164 patients were examined. Of these, 59 received mare's milk, 40 camel and 65 cow's milk. On the basis of studying the time course of the clinical picture, secretory and motor functions of the stomach, as well as of the endoscopic appearance of the gastric and duodenal mucosa it was ascertained that apart from the improved clinical course of the disease, secretory and motor functions of the stomach there was a complete wound healing and remarkable decline of its size in 93, 90, and 70% of patients given mare, camel and cow's milk, respectively. Also, radiotelemetry was used to study the antacid properties of the milk types in question. The first two milk types have demonstrated more pronounced antacid properties.
