Alcohol is something we also recommend people avoid when the ulcer is causing the most pain. That's all types, but especially beer as it seems to cause the greatest increase in stomach acid production. |
It's not just eating food which increases gastric secretions - even thinking about food can do it. So if you can, get someone else to shop and cook for you while your ulcer is healing. |
We also recommend you avoid eating very large meals as this can also increase pain. |
