Tóm tắt

Peptic ulcer disease is a common gastrointestinal condition where diet is crucial in its prevention and treatment. This prospective cross-sectional study involving 246 children aged 10 - 14 diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease at the National Children’s Hospital was conducted to evaluate the fiber intake and micronutrients in their diet. The study recorded 85.4% of males and 14.6% of females. About two-thirds of the children consumed vegetables daily, while fruits and juices were consumed less frequently. However, the children’s diet did not meet the recommended fiber intake. Deficiencies in calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin A were also noted after dietary analysis. Thus, nutritional counseling is recommended for children with peptic ulcer disease to ensure adequate fiber intake and address micronutrient deficiencies to improve treatment outcomes.
