Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that lives in the human stomach, and its overgrowth can cause diseases such as gastritis, stomach ulcers, and possibly even stomach cancer. According to studies, the presence of H. pylori is closely linked to certain foods, and once infected with H. pylori, some foods can no longer be eaten casually.
1. Foods that are too sour should be avoided as much as possible
Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that is suitable for surviving in an acidic environment, and if there is too much stomach acid, it is more conducive to the reproduction of Helicobacter pylori.
Therefore, in order to alleviate stomach discomfort such as burning, acid reflux, belching, etc., we need to minimize the consumption of excessively acidic foods such as citrus fruits, glutinous rice products, strong tea, and coffee.
Second, irritating foods should also be eaten less
Spicy foods such as chili peppers and onions, as well as fried foods, alcohol, carbonated drinks, etc., can stimulate gastric acid secretion, which is also beneficial for the growth of Helicobacter pylori.
IIIAlcoholDrink controlsystem
It is well known that alcohol is very irritating to the stomach, and the presence of Helicobacter pylori exacerbates this damage. So, to protect our stomach, it's best to avoid alcohol.
Fourth, includingCaffeineThe drinks should also be limited
Caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and cola can also stimulate gastric acid secretion, which is not good for stomach health.
Fifth, some specialFoods are also best avoided
For example, raw or undercooked meat and seafood can carry bacteria and increase the risk of infectionIn addition, raw vegetables and fruits may also carry H. pylori and need to be washed or cooked well before eating.
In conclusion, once infected with Helicobacter pylori, in order to protect our stomach, we need to minimize the consumption of these foods that may stimulate gastric acid secretion or increase the risk of infection.
These are just some of the dietary recommendations for some patients with severe conditions. Of course, it does not mean that patients infected with Helicobacter pylori must completely prohibit the consumption of these foods, but should be properly controlled, appropriately reduce the frequency and amount of consumption, and at the same time pay attention to the balance and diversity of the diet to ensure the nutritional needs of the body.
Summary: The key to preventing H. pylori is to maintain good personal Xi, including washing hands before and after meals, not sharing utensils, etc.
If you have been infected with Helicobacter pylori, you should seek medical attention in time, supplemented with medication** if necessary, and develop a scientific and reasonable diet plan under the guidance of a doctor.
