Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patients with ulcers of certain gastrointestinal tract disorders should avoid dietary constituents that increase hydrochloric acid and pepsin secretion. Foods to avoid include proteins, calcium, caffeine, coffee, and alcohol. Conversely, wheat (a whole grain), brown rice, and pastas are usually well tolerated because they do not typically stimulate gastric secretions. Note that although wheat is problematic in patients with gluten sensitivity, it is not contraindicated in patients with ulcers.
