Duodenal Ulcer

[yogi-bear]

Hi everyone.....Belated Happy New Year.....

Great start to the year as just got out of hospital with a bleeding duodenal ulcer.....had endoscopy and had ulcer repaiired and on drip for fluids and antibiotics in hospital .......Loads of antibiotics to take for the week....and have cancelled gigs booked and got other DJ mates to cover.....Off radio show for a while too.

Can anyone suggest soft foods to eat while healing as doctors just said soft foods? No dietician seen.
Any reply greatly appreciated and TIA x


Maybe my mate Sqad will see this bless him, when he's not playing snooker or eyeing up the girls in Menorca....Good man :-)

Flakey fish with mashed potato?

[237SJ]

Poached eggs, soup, mashed suede or sweet potato

Hi 23

Thanks for that ....thinking of having Cod tonight but with batter taken off or maybe fish cakes with mash potato.....Maybe with baked beans no chips though....What do you think?

[Sqad]

Nice to see you o the mend. Try this for starters:

Milk and other dairy products, low-fat or fat-free only
Cooked, canned, or frozen vegetables
Fruit juices and vegetable juices (some people, especially those with GERD, may want to avoid citrus)
Breads, crackers, and pasta made with refined white flour
Refined, hot cereals, such as Cream of Wheat (farina cereal)
Lean, tender meats, such as poultry, whitefish, and shellfish that are steamed, baked, or grilled with no added fat
Creamy peanut butter
Pudding and custard
Eggs
Tofu
Soup, especially broth
Weak tea

Sounds ok Yogi as 237 says go for soft textures and avoid too much acidity or spice for now.

Great excuse to tuck into some custard - mend soon.x

[yogi-bear]

Thanks Sqad and Mamy...

Appetite not fully back yet as probably pills affecting.....Drinking water and a bit of milk.

Had porridge this morning....3 boilers the and bread and light butter for lunch......

Absolutely knackered as if got 2 hours undisturbed sleep a night, that was all.......ward noisy at night and nurses waking me up for drugs, BP etc

Thanks for list Sqad :-) x

Hi Yogi, hope you heal very soon. Mash potatoes and milky puddings always a safe one.

[yogi-bear]

^ boilers!!! Piggin' predictive text

3 Boiled eggs :-)

[yogi-bear]

Hiya and thanks Patsy x

[yogi-bear]

The tubes down the throat and in the stomach, was not a pleasant experience.

[Samuraisan]

And don't forget boiled rice.

[237SJ]

Ambrosia creamed rice (staple jet lag food) or Rachel's Organic divine rice - lovely

[yogi-bear]

Cheers Samurai :-)

[yogi-bear]

Thanks again 23 :-)

Got some Ambrosia creamed rice in kitchen cupboard.....Semolina I think as well


Having unbattered cod and baked beans mash potato for dinner

[Patsy33]

Didn't you have the sedative yogi? I had endoscopy Monday, had sedative and throat spray. All I remember is gagging for a couple of seconds then slept for 40 minutes!

[yogi-bear]

Lucky you, Patsy.x...Cant remember if they gave me throat spray.........Felt quite a bit but must have zonked out, as all i remember is hearing the four nurses and doctor chatting after procedure x

I hate being ill, but on the plus side, they checked out most of me and seems ok.

[yogi-bear]

And I never weeeed so much in my life.....On fluids only, for a few days.....Nil by mouth.

[Patsy33]

Oh that's good. Just be careful what you eat and drink :-( I was told I have Gastritis and haitus hernia.. OH and son going to put wood blocks under top of bed later, so acid doesn't keep rising. Take care x

[anneasquith]

Don't rush, you've been quite Ill.eat often and small amounts. It's best to be at home, if you're tired sleep, it's a great healer.

[yogi-bear]

Hopefully you'll be and feel better when OH and son do that..... You take care and thanks again, Patsy x


So weird to be in on a Friday night...... Usually gigging :-(
