In 136 patients of young age features distinguishing the clinical course of peptic ulcer were studied. The diagnosis was established on the ground of roentgenological and endoscopic investigations. The nervous state was studied and the part played by psycho-emotional and stress factors in the development of peptic ulcer was ascertained on the basis of an analysis into the results of some vegetovascular and electrophysiological investigations. For the category of patients in question a high-protein and fat-rich diet (120-130 g) was composed. It was found to have a beneficial effect on the course of peptic ulcer, a high percentage of scarred ulcerations (78%) having been obtained by comparison with controls, who were kept on a diet with normal amounts of protein and fat. It is suggested that the effect of the treatment with the described diet is achieved thanks to increased buffer properties of the food ration, to the inhibitory action of the fat on the gastric secretion, and on account of intensified reperative processes going on in the gastroduodenal mucosa.
