Should I do a colonoscopy for gastric bleeding?

Among all stomach diseases, gastric bleeding is the most difficult acute disease to treat, and it is easily affected by season and environment. Especially some office workers who often stay up late to work and some people who do not lead a regular life are prone to gastric bleeding. If the correct treatment is not obtained, dangerous situations may occur, such as shock or fainting. So, should I do a colonoscopy for gastric bleeding?

Gastric bleeding requires gastroscopy, not colonoscopy.

Diet for patients with gastric bleeding

Avoid stimulating foods

Coffee, wine, gravy, chili, mustard, pepper, etc., these foods will stimulate the secretion of gastric juice or damage the gastric mucosa and should be avoided.

Everyone has their own unique response to food, so the food intake should be adjusted appropriately according to individual differences, and there is no need to fast completely.

Avoid acidic foods

Fruits with high acidity, such as pineapples, oranges, and tangerines, will not cause much irritation to patients with ulcers if eaten after meals, so they do not necessarily have to be prohibited.

Avoid gas-producing foods

Some foods are easy to produce gas, which makes patients feel full and should be avoided; however, whether a food will produce gas and cause discomfort varies from person to person, and you can decide whether to eat it based on your personal experience.

In addition, foods that are too hard, such as fried rice and barbecue, glutinous rice products such as rice cakes and rice dumplings, various desserts, cakes, fried foods and ice cream, often cause discomfort to patients and should be chosen with caution.

Whether gastric bleeding can be completely cured is closely related to one’s diet. Therefore, patients with gastric bleeding must pay attention to their diet and adjust their diet in time. If you have bad eating habits in the past, you must change them as soon as possible. During treatment in the hospital, eat whatever the doctor tells you to eat. Never eat food that is harmful to your treatment just because you are greedy.
