Patient's question:
Usually, after eating greasy food, I like to drink some black tea. I don't know if this habit is good or not? Does it affect stomach ulcers?Doctor's answer:
Black tea can assist the gastrointestinal tract in absorption, promote appetite, act as a diuretic, eliminate edema thoroughly, and strengthen heart muscle function. Patients with gastric ulcers can drink black tea, but it is best to consume light tea or add some milk and sugar to the black tea, which is beneficial for anti-inflammatory effects and protecting the gastric mucosa, and also has a certain therapeutic effect on ulcers. Faced with the harm of gastric ulcers, we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the gastric ulcer does not heal after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
