Thank you for your question Uyen, I would like to answer your question as follows:
You are currently suffering from stomach ulcers and have had a gastroscopy. However, your doctor wants to know how long ago you had your last colonoscopy. If it was more than a year ago, you should have a colonoscopy again to check if the stomach ulcer has improved or not or maybe it is more ulcerative (because recently you have been having belching, heartburn and pain). in the abdomen).
To improve this situation, we recommend:
See a gastroenterologist for direct advice Take medicine according to the doctor's prescription at the right time, drug name, and dose Choose vegetables Young tubers, preferably cruciferous (cabbage, radish, or cruciferous vegetables) because this family of vegetables contains many vitamins for the rapid healing of wounds of the digestive tract. Choose starchy foods that are low in flavor and easy to digest, such as cooked rice, bread, porridge, and boiled potatoes. Choose vegetable oils made from nuts (sesame oil, canola oil, soybean oil ...) Do not use processed cold meats, hard and chewy foods. Do not use chili pepper, garlic vinegar, sour fruits, carbonated and alcoholic drinks such as beer and wine. Quit smoking immediately if you are using it. Limit the use of NSAID pain relievers (ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen ...) Eat regularly, on time. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, limit anxiety and stress.
