Patients with gastric ulcers can consume oysters in moderation, but should pay attention to the following points:
1. Nutritional value: Oysters are rich in protein, minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients. Consuming them in appropriate amounts can help supplement the body's nutritional needs and aid in the recovery from gastric ulcers.
2. Quantity: Patients with gastric ulcers should control their intake of oysters to avoid excessive consumption, which may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and cause discomfort.
3. Cooking method: Oysters should be thoroughly cooked before consumption to eliminate bacteria and harmful substances that may irritate the stomach and lead to gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain.
4. Individual differences: Different patients may have varying physical conditions and病情 (medical conditions). Therefore, it is advisable to consult a doctor or nutritionist before consuming oysters to ensure that dietary choices align with individual health needs.
