Patients with duodenal ulcers should follow a diet that is light, easily digestible, and rich in nutrients. Specific recommendations include:
1. High-protein foods: Such as fish, chicken, and tofu, which help repair the ulcerated area and support recovery.
2. Foods rich in vitamins: Eat more vegetables and fruits, such as carrots, apples, and bananas, to supplement vitamin C and A, enhance immunity, and promote healing.
3. Easily digestible foods: Such as congee, noodles, and lotus root starch, to reduce irritation to the duodenal mucosa.
4. Moderate amounts of high-fiber foods: Such as barley and corn, which help promote intestinal motility, but should be consumed in moderation to avoid overburdening the gastrointestinal tract.
5. Avoid irritating foods: Such as spicy, greasy, raw, cold, overly sweet, or acidic foods, as well as stimulant beverages like alcohol, coffee, and strong tea.
