Ulcer flareups may be prevented with hourly meals says Mayo expert
Dr. Walter Alvarez of Mayo Clinic, in JAMA, advises patients who have ulcers to begin feeding every hour during emotional crises rather than waiting for a hemorrhage or perforation. He notes most damage to the mucous membrane occurs when the stomach is empty and a meal acts as a buffer in the highly acidic gastric juice. Ulcers of the stomach and duodenum commonly occur in such cases.
