Therefore, if you want to prevent the occurrence of such diseases, you should make appropriate adjustments in diet. So what should we pay attention to in diet when suffering from duodenal ulcer?

Duodenal ulcer should eat three meals regularly

During the active period of ulcer, it is better to eat small meals frequently. At other times, it is better to eat three meals regularly, and eat small meals frequently to avoid overeating or starving. However, in recent years, some scholars have found that although eating can temporarily relieve pain, eating small meals frequently will continuously stimulate gastric acid secretion, making gastric acid secretion active all day long, which is not conducive to ulcer healing.

What to eat for duodenal ulcer

1. It is advisable to eat soft and easily digestible foods, and avoid large, hard, and high-fiber foods to reduce mechanical stimulation to the ulcer surface.

2. Choose fruits and vegetables with low fiber content, such as tender cucumbers, tender eggplants, tender cabbage leaves, tomatoes (peeled and seeded), winter melon, carrots, and ripe apples, peaches, pears, etc.

2. Foods high in crude fiber, such as cornmeal, sorghum rice and other whole grains, dried soybeans, wild rice stems, bamboo shoots, celery, lotus root, leek, soybean sprouts, etc. should be limited. Hard foods such as bacon, ham, sausage, clams and peanuts should not be eaten.
