Patients with stomach ulcers typically have excessive gastric acid secretion, so the frequency of congee consumption should be appropriately reduced to avoid stimulating excessive acid secretion and worsening the condition. Additionally, many people believe that vegetables are easier to digest than meat, so those with a sensitive stomach often prefer a vegetarian diet. Patients with stomach ulcers should not be vegetarian for a long period.
