Several studies have found that cabbage can really help in the management of ulcers. In one study, seven patients with duodenal ulcers, five with gastric ulcers and one with gastrojejunal ulcers were observed for a period of four months.

During this period, the patients were supposed to take a liter of cabbage juice every day.
