Gastric bleeding and gastric mucosal shedding can generally be treated with medication or surgery. High-frequency electrocautery is required to remove the detached gastric mucosa, which helps improve the condition. Oral medications that enhance gastrointestinal motility and protect the gastric mucosa also contribute to symptom relief. It is advisable to consume more liquid foods, avoid high-salt diets, and refrain from eating pickled foods. Both salt and pickled products contain nitrosamines, which may trigger or worsen gastric ulcers. Increase intake of fiber-rich vegetables such as celery and leeks.
