Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Patients with duodenal bulb ulcers should pay attention to the following dietary recommendations:
1. **Regular eating habits**: Maintain a consistent eating schedule with fixed meal times and portion sizes. Avoid excessive hunger or overeating, which can help reduce gastric acid secretion and minimize irritation to the ulcer.
2. **Light and easily digestible foods**: Prioritize light, easily digestible foods such as millet porridge and pumpkin porridge. Avoid spicy, greasy, and high-fiber foods to reduce gastrointestinal burden.
3. **Balanced nutrition**: Consume foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, and fresh vegetables and fruits. These nutrients support the body's needs and promote ulcer healing.
4. **Avoid irritants**: Avoid drinking strong tea, coffee, alcohol, and other irritating beverages to prevent worsening of ulcer symptoms.
