Abstract

This chapter will discuss a peptic ulcer disease (PUD) case. PUD is a common gastrointestinal tract disease (GIT) that affects the stomach and duodenum. It is characterized by deep lesions into the mucosal thickness. Various dietary and behavioral choices could aggravate the epigastric pain associated with PUD and interfere with the healing process leading to complications. Management of PUD includes medical treatment with medications along with behavioral and nutritional changes. This case presents a complication of PUD, and choices exacerbating the condition. It will also discuss the role of medical nutrition therapy in minimizing the symptoms and promoting ulcer healing. Additionally, it will allow the dietetic professional to methodically assess the elements in the case that are relevant for planning the nutrition intervention; in addition to, educating the patient about dietary modifications to improve the patient's quality of life.
