Dr. Zhao Haiming
Gastric ulcer is a type of peptic ulcer, and patients can drink milk. This is a condition related to acidity, primarily caused by factors that damage the gastric mucosa. These factors include Helicobacter pylori, gastric acid, pepsin, etc. Milk should be consumed in moderation each time, preferably after meals or before bedtime. It is better not to drink milk on an empty stomach, as the rich protein and calcium content in milk may stimulate gastric acid secretion.
