First, strengthen nutrition and reasonable diet. The gastric mucosa of patients with gastric ulcer is damaged and their digestive ability is weak. In daily life, we should eat foods that are easy to digest and have enough calories, such as porridge, soft noodles, milk, soybean milk and tofu. Eating more foods rich in vitamins, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, can help patients enhance their resistance and antiviral ability, repair damaged gastric mucosa and accelerate the recovery of gastric ulcer. During the attack of gastric ulcer, liquid or semi-liquid food should be the main food, and it is best to chew slowly and develop regular eating habits. Don't add meals beyond three meals a day, otherwise the stomach will keep working and secrete gastric acid, which will affect the healing of ulcers. Vegetables with more crude fiber are not suitable for patients with gastric ulcer, such as celery and leek. These crude fiber foods are not only difficult to digest, but also stimulate the secretion of gastric acid and increase the burden on the patient's stomach.
Second, quitting smoking and drinking nicotine will destroy the acid-base balance of the stomach, disturb the work of the pylorus and aggravate the symptoms of gastric ulcer. Even healthy people who smoke regularly can do harm to the stomach, not to mention patients with gastric ulcer. Excessive stimulation of alcohol on the wound can directly destroy the protective layer of gastric mucosa, so patients with gastric ulcer should quit smoking and drinking.
Third, don't eat irritating food. Patients with gastric ulcer must not eat anything that stimulates gastric acid secretion, such as concentrated juice, coffee, strong tea, ginger and garlic. Especially sweets can lead to an increase in gastric acid secretion and an increase in the wound area of gastric ulcer and stomachache. Patients with gastric ulcer should not eat too hot food, because it may dilate blood vessels and aggravate bleeding from gastric ulcer wounds. In addition, don't eat spicy food, which is too irritating to the stomach and is not conducive to the recovery of gastric ulcer.
