Gastric disorders primarily rely on “three parts treatment and seven parts regulation”—treatment is important, but daily dietary management is even more critical. Pharmacological therapy may include omeprazole, rabeprazole, and pantoprazole. These should be combined with gastric mucosal protectants, such as sucralfate, hydrotalcite tablets, and colloidal bismuth pectin capsules. In daily life, patients should consume light, easily digestible foods; avoid smoking and alcohol; and refrain from overly sweet or salty foods.
