Condition analysis:
There is a blanket answer to this specific question. Sadly, stomach cancer is one of the most painful cancers and early stage diagnoses are not common. Typically, by the time of diagnosis, the patient will have already experienced nausea, pain and even blood in the stools or vomit. Sadly, choosing foods will not be an issue because there will be no tolerance to eat at all. The discomfort of the symptoms will necessitate a feeding tube.

Instructions:
Garlic: A Pennsylvania State University study finds that organosulfur compounds derived from garlic inhibit the growth of cancer cells of stomach. Garlic cloves, which are the bulbs of Allium sativum, are used medicinally. They contain the active chemicals allicin, alliin, and other antioxidants. These fight off the free radicals that contribute to the cancer. Raw garlic works better than cooked garlic or garlic extracts. You can take 2-4 g/day of minced fresh garlic cloves. Garlic is generally safe. Some side effects include bad breath, stomach upset, and bloating. Very rarely, it can cause headache, dizziness, muscle aches, and loss of appetite.

Green Tea: Green tea is made from the plant Camellia sinensis. It has been shown to be somewhat efficacious in the treatment of a variety of cancers, including stomach cancer. The active chemicals in green tea that help fight the cancer cells are polyphenols and antioxidants.

You can consume 2-3 cups of green tea daily. It is usually safe, though it can cause some side effects like constipation and stomach upset. Taking more than 5 cups of green tea per day can be unsafe on account of its caffeine content.
