Question
Hello doctor, doctor let me ask about stomach HP disease, my mother is 54 years old this year has a stomach ulcer infected with HP bacteria, I read the information on the hospital page that says to eat kimchi, I The question is because the doctor where my mother examined me advised not to eat hot spicy and pickled foods. So if kimchi is also pickled and spicy, is it okay to eat it? I thank you!

Hello, gastric ulcer disease is advised to limit eating sour and spicy, your mother should not eat a lot of kimchi and especially should not eat on an empty stomach.
