JAKARTA - People with ulcer disease must pay attention to the food or drinks they consume. If you eat the wrong food or drink, it will cause ulcer disease to recur and feel unpleasant pain.

Many people run a diet program by consuming milk. Indeed, milk is good for the body because milk is rich in nutrients. However, if you are someone who suffers from ulcer disease, then not all milk is good for the stomach, so low-fat milk is often an option for ulcer sufferers.

Then, why is that? It can be seen, from the three contents above, fat is the content that most ulcer sufferers must reduce. Therefore, the solution for those of you with ulcers who want to consume milk is low-fat milk.

Low-fat milk that still has a high calcium and protein content but with a low fat content is the right choice to continue to provide benefits both from milk for the body and also the stomach.

Milk itself can be categorized based on its fat content. For example, whole milk contains whole milk, low fat milk contains 2% fat and skim milk contains fat free.

Well, the fat content that can be accepted by people with ulcer disease generally ranges from 0 - 2.5%, so even low-fat milk can become a buffer in the stomach, which is not easily affected by changes in the pH of the surrounding environment. This is the reason why the stomach does not get acidic easily. In addition to low fat milk or skim milk, soy milk and almond milk can also be suitable milk for people with ulcer disease.
