In modern society, the number of people with stomach ulcers has increased dramatically . This is due to environmental degradation, decreased immunity and stress. But the most common cause of this disease is malnutrition. Passion for people to processed foods, canned foods and junk food negatively affects the digestive system. Now even many children already know from their own experience what a stomach ulcer is. Nutrition in this disease is very important and can cause both exacerbations and alleviation of the patient's condition.
Causes and symptoms of the disease
Peptic ulcer disease occurs due to malnutrition, bad habits or severe stress. The disease is manifested by severe pain, nausea, vomiting, heartburn and impaired stool. This is because a person has a damaged gastric mucosa, and digestive juices, as well as rough foods, irritate his walls and form erosions. Therefore, pain is the main symptom of the disease. Sometimes, however, it is asymptomatic, and a person may not even suspect that he has a stomach ulcer. Nutrition in this case provokes complications.
What foods should be excluded with an ulcer?
Therefore, if you have found a peptic ulcer, some foods cannot be consumed. After all, they cause irritation of the mucosa. Many foods are excluded, and most importantly, they are alcohol, coffee, tea, fried and smoked foods, canned goods, sodas, and rye bread. Fresh white bread and buns, fatty meat and rich broths, sour and spicy dishes are also undesirable. You can’t eat some fruits and vegetables: grapes, gooseberries, cabbage, turnips, radishes and onions. Eliminate pickled and pickled foods.
How to eat with an ulcer?
The most important thing to prevent exacerbations is to follow a diet. For patients who have at least once experienced an attack of peptic ulcer, this is not difficult, because the pain is very severe. Medicines prescribed by the doctor certainly help, but it is very important to observe a special lifestyle and diet. Therefore, for someone who is diagnosed with a stomach ulcer, nutrition should be the subject of close attention.
Food should be boiled or stewed, bread should be dried. Porridge on water or with a little milk is recommended. Cereals are useful for almost everything except millet. Limit salt intake, and fruit is better to eat baked or without skin. It is very useful to drink a glass of warm milk at night. You need to eat in small portions, but more often - 5-6 times a day. And one more important rule: the food should be warm.
Eating with an exacerbation of a stomach ulcer should be even more sparing. Food needs to be wiped, it is better if it is liquid or semi-liquid. So food leaves the stomach faster and does not irritate the mucous membrane.

nutrition for stomach ulcers? The recipes of such food resemble baby food. Almost all the food is mashed, milk, juices diluted with water,
mucous soups and cereals, broths of wild rose and jelly. Despite the prevailing opinion that the food of a person suffering from an ulcer is tasteless, you can cook a variety of healthy and tasty dishes.
It is recommended in this disease to avoid stress and depression, to abandon bad habits. But if you have a stomach ulcer, nutrition is the main thing that you should pay attention to.
