What is a diet plan for esophageal ulcers?

Suggestions for GERD: If esophageal ulcers reflect damage from gerd (gastroesophageal reflux), then combine acid suppression medication with the following: minimize meal size as well as intake of alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, tomato-based products, fatty/fried foods, fizzy drinks; avoid bending over or laying down within 4 hours of a meal, elevate head of the bed. Advice changes, of course, if ulcers are not due to gerd.

Diet and reflux: The following foods worsen gastroesophageal reflux: caffeine, alcohol, mint, chocolate. Acidic foods, such as citrus fruits and juices and tomatoes, exacerbate the injury to the esophagus caused by reflux, and usually worsen heartburn. Other common offenders are peppers, spicy foods, and fried foods. A higher protein content in a meal can help decrease reflux.
