Can patients with gastric ulcers eat durian?

Generally, patients with gastric ulcers can eat durian, but should do so in moderation. Durian is a nutrient-rich fruit containing sugars, protein, fat, carbohydrates, and various nutrients such as vitamins A, B, and C, potassium, calcium, and more. It can help gastric ulcer patients supplement their nutrition, promote recovery, and moderate intake can enhance their resistance to disease.

However, it is important to consume it in moderation. Durian is heaty in nature and high in sugar content. Excessive consumption may irritate the gastric mucosa, increase gastric acid secretion, worsen gastric discomfort, and excessive sugar intake may delay the healing process of gastric ulcers. After eating durian, patients with gastric ulcers should closely monitor their physical reactions. If symptoms such as gastric discomfort or pain occur, they should stop consumption immediately and seek medical attention.

When consuming durian, gastric ulcer patients should also pay attention to food pairing, avoiding excessive intake of highly sugary, fatty, or salty foods, as well as other irritating foods. Additionally, patients should maintain regular eating habits in daily life, chew food thoroughly, avoid overeating or binge eating, and refrain from consuming irritating foods. If necessary, dietary adjustments and treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a physician.
