Questionwhat meal plan is good for peptic ulcer patients?(kindly give an example.)
AnswerSpecific diet for peptic ulcer used to be the so called "bland diet," which was based on milk and only small amounts of hard food. Now, things changed and the advice includes:
?Choose foods that are rich in fiber and vitamin A-containing foods. Cooking techniques, however, should insure soft, smooth texture of the foods.
?Sticking to a diet rich in natural flavonoids, which inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori (a bacterium responsible for most ulcers). The typical foods are apples, celery, cranberries, onions, and tea.
?Cutting down on coffee, even decaffeinated, as well as carbonated beverages to avoid the increase of stomach acid secretion.
?Regular consumption of probiotics, foods containing friendly bacteria like Lactobacillus acidophilus. Live yogurt and farmer's cheese prepared by "cold" method without overheating the yogurt or kefir.
Here are some recipes that look OK to me from the ulcer standpoint:
