Patients with indigestion can eat an appropriate amount of pumpkin. Indigestion often occurs in several diseases, including gastrointestinal neurofunctional disorders, chronic gastritis, and peptic ulcers. An endoscopy can confirm the diagnosis. Patients with indigestion should pay attention to their diet; first and foremost, they should quit smoking and drinking. They should not consume strong tea, coffee, fatty and rich foods, spicy foods, fried foods, grilled foods, raw and cold foods, or sweets. Pumpkin is relatively easy to digest. Eating it in moderate amounts will not overburden the digestive tract or affect digestive functions, and generally does not cause symptoms of indigestion. Therefore, patients with indigestion can eat pumpkin in moderation.
