Are pomegranates good for gastric ulcers?
Patients with gastric ulcers are generally not recommended to eat pomegranates during the acute phase because pomegranate has a high sugar content and may promote excessive gastric acid secretion and aggravate the symptoms of gastric ulcers. At the same time, pomegranates are usually hard and difficult to digest, which may increase the burden on the stomach, so it is not recommended to be used in the acute stage.
If the ulcer has tended to heal, you can eat a small amount of pomegranates at this time, but you need to be careful not to eat too much at one time, and you also need to be careful to avoid eating some fruits that are too irritating and too acidic.
Although pomegranate is very nutritious, if you eat too much, it will cause damage to the gastrointestinal tract. Pomegranate contains a lot of tannic acid. If you eat too much, your stomach will secrete too much acid, and pomegranate contains sugar. The amount is relatively high. If you eat too much, it will be difficult to digest, which will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and cause damage to the stomach. Therefore, it is better to eat as little as possible.
When eating pomegranates, you can also eat pomegranate seeds. Pomegranate has an astringent effect and can treat and prevent gastric ulcers. Eating pomegranate seeds together can regulate gastrointestinal function. Patients with poor stomachs should pay attention to nutrition. Develop good eating habits. Eat three meals at regular intervals, avoid raw, cold, greasy, spicy, and irritating foods. Eat smaller meals more often, chew slowly, and keep your mood comfortable. Drink plenty of warm water.
