Effect of normal and ulcer-type diet on the acidity of gastric contents in patients with duodenal ulcer.

Patients with uncomplicated duodenal ulcer were given two types of diet -a normal and a ulcer-type diet. The data obtained did not show any statistically significant difference between the action of the two diets. No evidence was then found to be in support of the still widely used restricted diet in the treatment of peptic ulcer.
