What should I eat for Suhoor and Iftar?

  • Suhoor: Opt for a hydrating and balanced meal with slow carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. 
  • Iftar: Begin with something light like dates or soup, followed by a balanced meal.

How can I manage ulcer pain while fasting?

  • Do not skip meals: Especially Suhoor, as it provides energy throughout the day.
  • Eat slowly: Take your time during Iftar to avoid overwhelming your digestive system.
  • Avoid certain foods: Stay away from spicy, fatty, and acidic foods to ease ulcer symptoms.

What if my ulcer pain worsens during fasting?

If you experience severe pain or discomfort, it’s important to break your fast and seek medical attention. Your health should always be a priority.

Tips for a Healthy Fasting Experience

  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water during non-fasting hours to stay hydrated.
  • Balanced meals: Ensure your Suhoor and Iftar include a mix of vegetables, proteins, complex carbs, and healthy fats.
  • Medication: If prescribed, take your medication at the correct times, possibly adjusting the schedule for Ramadan.
  • Exercise: Engage in light exercise to maintain flexibility and overall health.
