If I fast for 24 hours will I get ulcer?

[Anonymous]

I dont eat at work and my coworkers think I will get ulcer for not eating for 21 hours. I mean I eat lunch in our home at 11 am and I just bring water bottle at work and just drink water at work with free water in our office. And my coworkers think I will get ulcer for not eating dinner. My work starts at 6pm-7 am and I just dont eat dinner I thought fasting would help me clear my mind since I have anxiety. Sometimes my coworker would offer me coffee and bread cuz they thought I didn't eat. They saw me not eating lol

When do you sleep if you eat at 11am and work from 6pm to 7am? It's ok if you only eat once a day if you sit at a desk at work and don't do a physical job. You're not going to get an ulcer but you need to sleep at least 7 hours and eat at least 1500 calories a day

No you would not.


Overindulging in rich and fatty foods, alcohol, caffeine and tobacco are factors (believed) that could lead to a build up of stomach acids. It could erode the protective lining of the stomach. Which plays role in the development of ulcer.

There is virtually 0% risk of ulcer from fasting

Ignore the pain of stomach acid at first and eventually it will go away

When the fast is over, I recommend you eat plenty of protein to help you maintain your muscle and only lose fat

Ulcers come from too much alcohol, red meat, sugar, salt. Not from fasting.

I fast for 24 hrs most Sundays. I usually feel better and with less inflammation for the next few days after.

No, ulcers are caused by a bacterial infection.

No, that doesn't sound right.

Why? I think in Philippines its common belief if you dont eat you will get ulcer

[beefcakebradybatson]

Don't think so.

Fasting helps ulcers
