The effect of moldy stuff on stomach ulcers

Moldy stuff can generally have an effect on stomach ulcers. If the patient has symptoms of discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.

2.

Long-term consumption of large amounts of moldy food may also increase the risk of cancer.

3. It will aggravate gastric ulcers: because moldy food contains more mycotoxins, these toxins have a strong toxic effect, and after entering the human body, they can directly damage the mucosal cells of the gastrointestinal tract, increase gastric acid secretion, and then aggravate the symptoms of gastric ulcers.

4. It will induce gastric perforation: If you eat moldy food for a long time, it will lead to the continuous aggravation of gastric inflammatory reaction, and even the formation of ulcers, which will cause gastric perforation in severe cases.
