Answer:

Do you mean people with "Peptic ulcer"?

* Coffee, alcohol, and excessive amounts of Vitamin C supplements are stimulants of gastric acid secretion. Taking these before bedtime especially can promote evening reflux. Calcium containing antacids are in this group.

* Foods high in fats and smoking reduce lower esophageal sphincter competence, so avoiding these tends to help, as well. Fat also delays emptying of the stomach.

* Having more but smaller meals also reduces the risk of GERD, as it means there is less food in the stomach at any one time.

* avoid eating for 2 hours before bedtime

* avoid soft drinks

* avoid chocolate and peppermint

* avoid spicy foods

* avoid acidic foods like oranges and tomatoes (however, they are okay when fresh.)

* avoid cruciferous vegetables: onions, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, brussel sprouts

* milk and milk-based products contain calcium and fat, so should be avoided before bedtime

Other factors can make it more likely for you to get an ulcer, including:

* Using aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen

* Drinking alcohol excessively

* Smoking cigarettes and using tobacco

So please avoid them.

It's better to avoid spicy foods, or anything that's too acid.

Anyway, there's medicine you can take before eating to protect your stomach.

they can eat whatever they want. usually when a person is diagnosed with an ulcer they have to figure out what food irritates the ulcer, which is usually spicy foods or foods high in acid.
