Q What habits should I build to keep an ulcer from recurring?
A Eat regularly in small frequent amounts, don't leave your stomach empty too long, cut down alcohol, coffee, and smoking, don't take painkillers carelessly, and manage stress—these are key. Small habits greatly reduce recurrence.
Detailed Answer
Eating habits that put little burden on the mucosa matter most. Eat regularly without skipping meals but without overeating at once, and reduce irritating drinks and smoking as a basic rule. In particular, be careful not to take anti-inflammatory painkillers carelessly except when truly needed.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Lifestyle improvement and mucosal recovery have great effect when they go together. By reviving the stomach's self-healing power with Korean medicine while building one keepable habit at a time, you can maintain a comfortable state without recurrence for a long time.
