What should I pay attention to in the diet of duodenal ulcer?

  Patient: Hello doctor! My mother was examined for a duodenal ulcer the year before last and has been taking omeprazole enteric capsules, but she has not gotten better, mainly because she works all the time and sometimes does not avoid eating, occasionally she feels like she has a fever, her chest is tight and sometimes she vomits, but this symptom is relatively rare. It’s because she doesn’t know what she can and can’t eat that she keeps going back and forth and can’t get better. Thank you!  Chen Xueqing, Department of Gastroenterology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College: If so, I have to wonder if your mother has a duodenal ulcer, because duodenal bulb ulcer is a curable disease, not while insisting on taking medication. Although it is said that not performing eradication of H. pylori infection may lead to recurrence of the disease, it is possible to cure duodenal bulb ulcers with acid-suppressing drugs. Therefore, it is recommended to go to a gastroenterology specialist for a checkup.  Patient: Hello doctor, my mother has a 12-fat ulcer, the results of the examination at the regular hospital, and those symptoms such as occasional chest tightness and vomiting may be related to hard work at night or to other diseases. I would like to ask which of the diet should be completely avoided, which can be eaten less, and which can be eaten to help the disease. Thank you doctor Chen Xueqing, Department of Gastroenterology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College: If it is a duodenal bulb ulcer, more than 90% is related to HP, so it should be treated radically to get cured. The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the heart and see if there are any problems. For dietary problems, eat some light and easily digestible food, be more regular, should not eat spicy, stimulating food, and do not stay up late or too strenuous. Do not smoke, but can drink a small amount of alcohol (low). Do not take drugs that are damaging to the stomach, such as antipyretics and painkillers. The condition is not helped by food, but by effective treatment, such as eradication of H. pylori.
