Second, what foods are good for recurrent ulcers:
1. Choose a balanced diet with high nutritional value, soft and easy to digest:Such as milk, yogurt, eggs, soy milk, fish, lean meat, etc., processed and cooked to become soft and easy to digest, without irritation to the gastrointestinal tract; at the same time, it supplements sufficient calories, protein, and vitamins; the ratio of the three major nutrients in the semi-liquid stage is about: carbohydrates 60%, protein 15%, fat 25%; and in the liquid stage, carbohydrates 60%, protein 20%, fat 20%.
2. Sufficient protein:Protein plays a buffering role in gastric acid, can neutralize gastric acid, but protein can also promote the secretion of gastric acid during digestion in the stomach. Therefore, provide sufficient protein to meet the body's needs, with a daily supply of 1g/kg to promote ulcer repair; if there is anemia, at least 1.5g/kg should be provided.
3. No strict limitation of fat is required:Because it can inhibit gastric acid secretion; moderate fat has no stimulation to the gastrointestinal mucosa, but too much can promote the secretion of cholecystokinin, inhibit gastrointestinal motility, and make food in the stomach difficult to enter the duodenum, causing stomach bloating and pain, which can provide 60-70g/d; it is advisable to choose easily digestible and absorbable dairy-like fats, such as milk, butter, egg yolks, cheese, and a moderate amount of vegetable oil.

1. Avoid foods with excessive mechanical and chemical stimulation:Mechanical stimulation increases mucosal damage, destroying the mucosal barrier, such as coarse grains, celery, chives, winter melon, bamboo shoots, and dried fruits; chemical stimulation increases gastric acid secretion, which is not conducive to ulcer healing, such as coffee, strong tea, strong alcohol, strong meat soup, etc.
2. Avoid foods that produce acid easily:Such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, overly sweet pastries, and overly sour foods; easily gas-producing foods, such as raw scallions, raw garlic, raw radishes, garlic oil, onions, etc.;
3. Avoid cold and raw foods:Such as large amounts of cold drinks, cold mixed vegetables, etc.;
4. Avoid hard foods:Such as preserved pork, ham, sausage, clam meat, etc.;
