Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is characterized by discontinuation in the lamina propria and muscularis mucosa of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It extends into the muscularis propria layer of the gastric epithelium and occurs in the stomach and proximal duodenum. Since it is a disease of the digestive system, diet and nutrition play an important role in managing the disease by avoiding harmful foods and providing appropriate nutrition to the body.
