Cranberry good
My ulcer isn't caused by a virus- they tested me- I have a genuine lifestyle ulcer (I'm so proud). However, if I wanted to inhibit the viruses that cause gut disorders, I could drink more cranberry juiceResearcher Dr Steven Lipson told the BBC News website: "Cranberry juice seems to have an effect on the replication cycle of the virus at an early stage so that it fails to penetrate the host cell."
Dr Lipson said the key might be chemical components of the juice called flavenoids and tannins, both of which have previously been shown to have an anti-bacterial effect.
