Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
For patients with duodenal and gastric ulcers, the recommended diet should be easily digestible, nutritionally rich, and mild without irritation. Specifically, easily digestible foods such as millet porridge, soft noodles, and corn porridge can be selected to reduce the burden on digestion. At the same time, an appropriate intake of dairy products such as goat's milk and cow's milk, as well as meat products like chicken, pork, and fish, should be included to supply essential nutrients including proteins, calcium, and phosphorus. In addition, fresh vegetables and fruits are also indispensable, such as Chinese cabbage, lettuce, cucumber, oranges, and bananas, which are rich in fiber, vitamin C, and beta-carotene, helping to promote gastrointestinal motility, aid digestion, and facilitate bowel movements.
