A member asked:

I'm just wondering, if you have a peptic ulcer, should you diet high in fats or high in proteins?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Slow down: Peptic ulcer prefer low fat, protein and less volume, so digestion is easier. Eat slowly and thoughtfully. Manage stress without snacking. Sip on comforting fluids like milk if you are hungry between meals. Good luck.
