For patients with gastric ulcers, the daily three-meal diet should primarily consist of easily digestible, mild, and non-irritating foods. It is crucial to avoid seafood and spicy or stimulating foods, as these may exacerbate gastric ulcer symptoms and increase the risk of gastric cancer. Gastric ulcers typically result from prolonged gastric inflammation, often linked to irregular eating habits—such as binge eating or skipping meals. A comprehensive approach to lifestyle modification is essential; maintaining regular, consistent mealtimes is particularly important.
