    PEPTIC ULCER GUIDANCE BY PEARL GREEN PHARMACY

    Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the lining of the stomach, upper
    small intestine, or esophagus. While individual tolerances can vary, here are some
    common foods that may potentially aggravate peptic ulcers.

     Spicy Foods (Spices like chili powder, hot peppers, and black pepper) These stimulate
    acid production and irritate the stomach lining, potentially worsening ulcer symptoms.

     Citrus Fruits (Acidic fruits like oranges, lemons,pineapple, grapefruits) and their juices
    can irritate the already inflamed stomach lining, causing discomfort for some individuals.

     Tomatoes and Tomato-Based Products,Tomatoes are acidic, which can increase


    stomach acid production and contribute to irritation in those with peptic ulcers.

     Caffeinated Beverages (energy drinks , coffee and caffeinated sodas)Caffeine can


    stimulate acid production in the stomach, potentially exacerbating ulcer symptoms.

     Carbonated Beverages (Drinking carbonated drinks, such as soda or sparkling water)


    can lead to increased gas production.

     Artificial Sweeteners (Sugar substitutes like sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol) that are
    commonly found in sugar-free products can cause flatulence and bloating in some
    individuals.

     Alcohol can irritate the stomach lining, increase stomach acid production, and delay the
    healing process of ulcers.

     Fried and Fatty Foods, Greasy and fried foods take longer to digest and can increase
    the risk of acid reflux, potentially worsening ulcer symptoms.

     Very Hot or Very Cold Foods, Extreme temperatures in foods and drinks can irritate
    the stomach lining and aggravate ulcer symptoms.

    It's important to note that individual tolerances may vary, and what triggers symptoms in one
    person may not affect another in the same way. It is advisable to listen to your body's
    response and consult with a healthcare professional. They can help create a suitable diet plan
    that promotes healing and reduces ulcer symptoms.

    Foods that are generally considered to be beneficial for individuals with ulcers.

     High-Fiber Foods, Foods rich in fiber, such as whole grains(rice,millet), fruits,


    vegetables, and legumes, can help promote proper digestion and contribute to overall
    gut health. However, if high-fiber foods worsen your symptoms, you may need to adjust
    the amount or type of fiber you consume.

     Lean Proteins, Opt for lean sources of protein like skinless poultry, fish, tofu, and
    legumes. These can provide essential nutrients without adding excess fat or causing
    digestive issues.

     Healthy Fats, Include moderate amounts of healthy fats in your diet, such as olive oil,
    avocados, nuts, and seeds. These can help provide energy and support overall well-
    being.

     Dairy Products, Low-fat dairy products, such as skim milk, low-fat yogurt, can be
    beneficial. These foods are generally well-tolerated and may help soothe the stomach.

     Non-Citrus Fruits, Choose non-acidic fruits like apples, bananas, pears, and melons,
    which are generally more gentle on the stomach and less likely to cause discomfort.

     Cooked Vegetables, Lightly cooked or steamed vegetables, such as carrots, broccoli,


    and spinach, can provide essential nutrients while being easier to digest.

     Herbal Teas,Chamomile tea, slippery elm tea, and licorice tea are often recommended
    for their potential soothing effects on the stomach.

     Whole Grains, Opt for whole grain options like brown rice, whole wheat bread, and
    whole grain pasta, which can provide fiber and nutrients without causing irritation.

    Eating habits can help manage symptoms, promote healing, and maintain overall
    digestive health.

     Regular Meal Times, Establish regular meal times and try to stick to a consistent
    eating schedule. This can help regulate stomach acid production and promote proper
    digestion.

     Smaller, Frequent Meals, Instead of consuming large meals, it may be beneficial to


    eat smaller portions more frequently throughout the day. This can help reduce the
    amount of acid produced during digestion and minimize discomfort.

     Chew Thoroughly, Take your time to chew your food thoroughly before swallowing.
    This aids in the digestion process and helps prevent additional stress on the stomach.

     Avoid Late-Night Eating,Consuming meals or snacks close to bedtime can increase


    the likelihood of acid reflux and aggravate ulcer symptoms. Try to finish eating at least
    2-3 hours before going to bed.

     Stay Hydrated,Drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain proper hydration.
    Adequate hydration supports healthy digestion and helps ensure optimal functioning of
    the gastrointestinal tract.

     Limit Trigger Foods,Identify and avoid any specific foods that trigger your ulcer
    symptoms. These can vary from person to person, so paying attention to your body's
    responses is crucial.

     Manage Stress,Stress can worsen ulcer symptoms and impact digestive health.
    Practice stress-management techniques such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness,
    meditation, or engaging in activities you enjoy.

     Avoid Smoking and Alcohol, Both smoking and alcohol can irritate the stomach lining,
    increase acid production, and hinder the healing process of peptic ulcers. It's important
    to avoid or minimize these habits.
