JAKARTA - Have you ever felt unbearable pain in the stomach? Hmm, it could be because of stomach ulcers. According to dr. Muhammad Iqbal Ramadhan, as quoted from the Klikdokter page, Wednesday, August 8, in medical terminology, stomach ulcers are known as gastritis or inflammation of the stomach due to high stomach acid.

In addition, ulcers can also be interpreted as acid reflux disease (GERD), which is a disorder of stomach acid production and esophageal muscle strength.

This disorder causes stomach acid to rise from the stomach to the esophagus to the base of the mouth and causes a burning sensation in the pit of the stomach, as well as a sour and bitter taste in the mouth.

Further, dr. Iqbal also said, to avoid this disease, you also need to try to change your diet.

You should try a gastric diet, which is to avoid foods such as:

Foods that contain a lot of gas

Such as, animal fat, mustard greens, cabbage, jackfruit, Ambon banana, kedondong, dried fruit and soft drinks.

Foods that Stimulate the Release of Stomach Acid

Such as coffee, drinks containing 5-20% alcohol, white wine and citrus juices.

Foods that are Difficult to Digest

Examples include fatty foods, tarts and cheese.

Foods that Can Damage the Stomach Wall

Such as vinegar, spicy, pepper and seasonings that are strong and acidic.

Foods that weaken the lower esophageal valve

Examples include alcohol, chocolate, high-fat foods, and fried foods.

Source of carbohydrates

Such as glutinous rice, noodles, vermicelli, bulgur, corn, cassava, tales, and lunkhead.

Then, continued dr. Iqbal, people with ulcers, GERD and gastritis are advised to consider foods that can reduce attacks of stomach pain, such as potatoes, bananas, broccoli, and porridge.
