Patient's question:
Diagnosing a gastric ulcer should have been more than five years ago. I have bronchial asthma as well. Recently, I've been feeling stomach bloating and pain. I don't have much appetite for dinner, and I feel full for a long time after eating. What should I do about the gastric ulcer that has been more than five years?Doctor's answer:
Gastric ulcers are generally associated with Helicobacter pylori infection, and it is recommended to use triple therapy, primarily consisting of Losec, Amoxicillin, and Clarithromycin (or Metronidazole/Tinidazole/Berberine, etc.). Losec (Omeprazole) inhibits gastric acid secretion and protects the gastric mucosa, while Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin treat Helicobacter pylori infection. The medication is usually taken for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, symptomatic treatment is recommended. Avoid consuming hard-to-digest foods and drinking beer or eating sweets.Patients with gastric ulcers can complement professional treatment with dietary therapy in daily life. It is important to maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating foods.
