Patient's question:
Due to work-related reasons, long-term alcoholism, etc. This has led to the development of gastric ulcers, which are now quite severe. Eating certain foods can cause vomiting. However, after treatment, it has improved significantly. But my job often involves dining with clients, which inevitably means drinking beer. Can someone with gastric ulcers still drink beer?Doctor's answer:
Peptic ulcer and gastritis are often caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. The main symptoms include abdominal pain, acid reflux, heartburn, and belching. Symptoms may recur or worsen due to psychological factors, work stress, and irregular eating habits. It is recommended that you follow a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. For severe cases of peptic ulcer, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment.
