Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Avoid spicy foods. Actually, chili peppers can increase blood flow to the gastric mucosa and stimulate the synthesis and release of prostaglandins in the gastric mucosa, which can effectively prevent damage to the gastric mucosa by harmful substances, providing protection for the stomach. Garlic can kill Helicobacter pylori in the stomach, which is one of the main causes of peptic ulcers. Therefore, it is appropriate to consume spicy foods like chili peppers and garlic according to personal preference, just be mindful not to overdo it.
