During my undergraduate years, I faced an unexpected adversary – a persistent peptic ulcer. It seemed that stress from medical school and the late-night snacks I enjoyed triggered the painful ulcers that often left me hunched over in agony. It felt like a never-ending battle between my academic pursuits and my health. As I progressed through my undergraduate degree, I realized that I needed to make a change. I began to educate myself about peptic ulcers and it’s triggers. Armed with this knowledge, I took deliberate steps to manage my condition. I started prioritizing a healthier diet, avoiding spicy and acidic foods, and reducing my caffeine intake especially that yellow Lipton. Over time, these changes made a significant difference. The peptic ulcers that once disrupted my studies became less frequent and less severe. Now, as I look back on those challenging undergraduate years, I’m grateful for the lessons I’ve learned
