Which is NOT a symptom of peptic ulcers?

Bloating after meals
High fiber diet
Stomach pain
Vomiting blood

The correct answer is: High fiber diet

A high fiber diet is not a symptom of peptic ulcers; rather, it is considered beneficial for digestion and overall gut health. Peptic ulcers typically present with symptoms such as stomach pain, bloating after meals, and in more severe cases, vomiting blood. These symptoms arise because the ulceration affects the stomach lining and can lead to discomfort and complications. A high fiber diet can help manage digestive issues by promoting regular bowel movements and aiding in the healing process, making it distinct from the symptoms that signify the presence of an ulcer. This makes it clear why a high fiber diet, while important for overall health, does not fit into the category of symptoms associated with peptic ulcers.
