Fried foods and spices, especially chilies, should be totally prohibited. Bland, easily-digestible foods should be the mainstay of the patient's diet. Milk should be freely taken, preferably at intervals of three to four hours during the day, because the pain of the ulcer occurs at times when the stomach is empty.
