Introduction
It is generally considered that if a patient is in relatively good health, experiences no significant discomfort during the endoscopic biopsy, and recovers quickly, they may resume eating rice about one day after the procedure. However, if the patient is in poor health and experiences symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or gastric discomfort after the endoscopic biopsy, it is recommended to wait approximately two days before eating rice.

Generally speaking, patients can start eating rice 1 to 2 days after undergoing a gastroscopic biopsy, but it is recommended to consume softer rice. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Gastroscopic biopsy is primarily used to examine gastrointestinal lesions. After the procedure, the patient's gastrointestinal function requires some time to recover. During this period, diet should gradually progress from liquid and semi-liquid foods to soft foods.

Typically, if the patient is in relatively good health and experiences no significant discomfort after the gastroscopic biopsy, with a relatively quick recovery, they may begin eating rice about one day after the procedure.

However, if the patient is in poor health and experiences symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or stomach discomfort after the biopsy, a longer recovery period is needed. In such cases, it is advisable to wait approximately two days after the biopsy before consuming rice.

During the initial phase following a gastroscopic biopsy, patients should avoid spicy, stimulating, greasy, raw, or cold foods to prevent further irritation or damage to the gastric mucosa.
