Causes of gastric bleeding include alcohol consumption, overeating, and ingestion of spicy or irritating foods. It may also result from the patient’s use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, clopidogrel, or ibuprofen. Patients should follow a bland, mild diet—avoiding spicy, raw, cold, or alcoholic foods—to minimize gastric irritation. Additionally, overeating must be avoided; patients with gastric disorders are advised to adopt a pattern of eating smaller, more frequent meals.
