Answer to Question 1

C
Most patients with peptic ulcers should avoid foods and beverages that contain caffeine. Drink-ing several glasses of milk daily used to be recommended but has not been proven to be helpful. Eating a diet high in fiber and low in fat is recommended for good health but does not have any specific benefit for patients with peptic ulcers.
