Patient's question:
I have a stomach ulcer and gastritis. Once, I drank a lot of beer, which caused some stomach bleeding—there was blood in my vomit. This week, I haven’t been drinking beer, but due to training requirements, there’s a banquet tomorrow where alcohol will be served. I’d like to ask if there’s anything I can eat before drinking beer to protect my stomach? Can I take bismuth-containing pectin?Doctor's answer:
Since you already have a gastric ulcer and gastrointestinal bleeding, it is best to take stomach-protecting medication long-term, including omeprazole or lansoprazole. Pectin bismuth can be used before taking the medication, and it's perfectly fine.In terms of treatment, I have given you many survival guidelines:
Second, eat something before drinking beer, such as congee or meat, to slow down alcohol metabolism.
Third, take vitamin C before drinking alcohol to protect the liver. After drinking, eat more fresh fruits to enhance metabolism and detoxify.
Gastrointestinal bleeding poses significant harm to patients. Once you notice your symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
