Many: Stay away from Ibuprofen and alleve like medications, check with your doctor if you have a bacteria called h pylori and get treated accordingly. Acid reducers like zantac, (ranitidine) Prilosec and many others can help.

Acid reducing meds: Also known as proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole etc. Are recommended for the treatment of ulcers. Otc antacids may help with short term symptom relief but will not heal ulcers. If h. Pylori bacterium is present you will need antibiotics as well. Avoid any nsaids, or Aspirin and make sure you eat light avoiding heavy, spicy and acidic foods, including citrus, sodas, caffeine, alcohol & smoking.
