Patient's question:
I often attend banquets, drink beer, and my meals are not very on schedule. My gastrointestinal problems have reappeared. A few days ago, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said I need to pay attention to my diet. What should I avoid with erosive duodenitis and chronic superficial gastritis?Doctor's answer:
First, regarding the diseases of the duodenum and stomach that you mentioned, it is recommended that you eat less spicy and difficult-to-digest foods, and consume more light and easily digestible foods.Second, it would be best for you to undergo a careful examination, such as a C13 or C14 breath test, to check for Helicobacter pylori infection. The reason is that current views believe that most stomach diseases are related to Helicobacter pylori infection. Based on the results of this examination, you can then determine whether treatment to eradicate Helicobacter pylori is necessary.
