Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, I had a gastric ulcer, which is essentially a recurring injury to the gastric mucosa. The stomach has a protective layer that is destroyed by stomach acid or rough food, resulting in an appearance similar to rust-like ulcers, causing pain and discomfort. The only solution is to take an antacid medication called Daxi, but it should not be overused. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods and adopt a small, frequent meal pattern to make adjustments. Medications that suppress stomach acid secretion can affect the child, so they should not be used without consulting a doctor.
