What should patients with ulcers avoid eating? Patients with ulcers should avoid drinking tea. For healthy people, drinking tea is beneficial, but for patients with ulcers, drinking tea is harmful. Because tea acts on the gastric mucosa, it can increase gastric acid secretion, especially for patients with duodenal ulcers. This effect is more obvious. Excessive gastric acid secretion will offset the efficacy of antacid drugs and is not conducive to the healing of ulcers. Therefore, in order to promote the healing of ulcers, patients with ulcers are advised not to drink tea, especially strong tea. Patients with ulcers should avoid drinking milk. Milk is delicious and nutritious. It was once considered an ideal drink for patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers. However, recent studies have found that drinking milk by ulcer patients can aggravate the condition. Because milk, like beer, can cause a large amount of gastric acid secretion. When milk first enters the stomach, it can dilute the concentration of gastric acid, ease the irritation of gastric acid to gastric and duodenal ulcers, and temporarily relieve upper abdominal discomfort. But after a while, milk becomes an irritant to the gastric mucosa, producing more gastric acid and further worsening the condition. Therefore, patients with ulcers should not drink milk. How to take care of yourself for gastric ulcer patients. Gastric ulcer is a frequently-occurring and chronic disease. It is easy to relapse and has a chronic process. Therefore, curing gastric ulcer requires a relatively difficult and long-lasting process. In addition to cooperating with medical staff for active treatment, patients should also take care of themselves. (l) Long-term medication must be adhered to: Since gastric ulcer is a chronic disease and is prone to recurrence, long-term medication must be adhered to in order for it to heal completely. You must not stop medication suddenly when symptoms improve slightly, nor switch to another medication just after taking a certain medication for a few days and see that the symptoms have not improved. Generally speaking, a course of treatment takes 4 to 6 weeks, and after the pain is relieved, treatment must be consolidated for 1 to 3 months, or even longer. (2) Avoid mental stress: Gastric ulcer is a typical psychosomatic disease, and psychological factors have a great influence on gastric ulcer. Mental stress, emotional excitement, or excessive worry can cause adverse stimulation to the cerebral cortex, weakening or losing the regulatory function of the subthalamic center, causing autonomic nerve dysfunction, which is not conducive to the digestion of food and the healing of ulcers. Maintaining a relaxed and happy mood is the key to healing gastric ulcers. (3) Pay attention to the rules of life and pay attention to climate changes: Patients with gastric ulcers must follow certain rules in their lives and not be overtired. Overwork will not only affect the digestion of food, but also hinder the healing of the ulcer. Ulcer patients must pay attention to rest and have a regular daily life. There is a certain relationship between the onset of ulcer disease and climate change. Therefore, ulcer patients must pay attention to climate change and add or remove clothing and quilts in a timely manner according to the solar terms. (4) Pay attention to food hygiene: Failure to pay attention to food hygiene, partial eclipse, excessive food intake, excessive hunger and satiety, excessive consumption of cold drinks and cold food, or a taste for spicy food such as pepper, strong tea, coffee, etc., can lead to gastrointestinal digestive disorders. Conducive to the healing of ulcers.

Paying attention to dietary hygiene, eating three regular and quantified meals a day, moderate hunger and fullness, and chewing slowly are good habits to promote ulcer healing. (5) Avoid taking drugs that are harmful to the gastric mucosa: Some drugs, such as aspirin, dexamethasone, prednisone, indomethacin, etc., have an irritating effect on the gastric mucosa and can aggravate the condition of gastric ulcers. They should be avoided as much as possible. If you must take it due to a disease, you can explain to your doctor and use other medicines instead, or follow the doctor's advice and take it with other auxiliary medicines, or take it after meals to reduce adverse reactions to the stomach. (6) Eliminate the cause of bacterial infection: In the past, gastric ulcers were believed to be related to the digestion of gastric juice and neuroendocrine dysfunction. Therefore, traditional treatments include antacid, pain relief, and analgesia. In recent years, relevant scholars have found that some gastric ulcers are caused by bacterial infections, the most common of which is Helicobacter pylori. These patients must be treated with antibiotics
