A Critical Appraisal of THE DIETARY MANAGEMENT of PEPTIC ULCER and ULCERATIVE COLITIS

STEWART WOLF M.D.1

Evidence is presented which suggests that settings of anxiety and tension can nullify the beneficial effects of a high fat meal on gastric acidity and motility. One should not count very heavily on the inhibitory effects of diet in peptic ulcer when the stomach is under stimulation from stressful situations in the patient's daily life. There is also a great need to study the true effects of certain so-called irritating foods, condiments, and chemicals on the stomach. In a fistulous subject, the direct application of commonly accepted irritants produced fewer and lesser changes in the stomach than on the skin.

Similarly, the colon in ulcerative colitis responds more violently to certain situational stimuli than to foods and fecal contents.
