The stomach is the most important digestive organ in our body, because all the food we eat needs to be digested by the gastrointestinal tract, so the stomach is also a place prone to problems, and the incidence of stomach diseases is also relatively high, among which gastric ulcer is a common one. So, what are the dietary items that need attention in general gastric ulcer?

1. Dietary principle of gastric ulcer

(1) Chew more and avoid eating in a hurry. Chewing can increase saliva secretion, and saliva can neutralize gastric acid.

(2) It is very important to eat regularly. Normal three meals a day is suitable for ordinary patients, but in the acute stage of attack, eating 5-6 times a day can reduce the concentration of gastric acid. Once the symptoms are controlled, it should be changed to normal three meals a day quickly.

(3) Pay attention to nutrition in diet, and there is no need to prescribe special recipes. Wheat, corn and miscellaneous grains have nutritional effects on gastric mucosa, so patients should be encouraged to eat them. Noodles, corn porridge, soybean milk, eggs, meat, spinach, Chinese cabbage, oil and other foods are easy to digest, and have strong ability to neutralize gastric acid, which has no mechanical stimulation to gastric mucosa and is suitable for eating.

(4) Avoid snacks between meals, so as to prevent the stomach from being constantly stimulated and increase the secretion of gastric acid and gastric peristalsis.

(5) In order to reduce gastric acid, foreign countries are used to applying milk or cream 1 times every L hour during the active period of ulcer disease. It is believed that milk is rich in prostaglandin, which can obviously inhibit gastric acid secretion and protect gastric mucosa, so patients should be encouraged to eat more milk.

(6) Some foods have physical (such as hot tea) and chemical (such as kimchi) damage to gastric mucosa, so patients with gastric ulcer should abstain from fried food, fried food, pepper, mustard, vinegar, strong tea, strong coffee, broth, alcohol and overheated and sweet food.

(7) The diet should not be too full, so as not to expand the antrum of the stomach, which will increase the secretion of gastrin and gastric acid.

From the above explanation, we should understand that a healthy diet plays a decisive role in the recovery of gastric ulcer. Experts should also remind patients that they must stay away from irritating foods such as peppers and coffee in the process of gastric ulcer, which is conducive to the recovery of the disease!
