after eating a certain food, avoid that food.
Helpful tips
Stop smoking. Smoking increases your stomach acid and can make you more likely to develop an ulcer.
Do not use drugs like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) for swelling and pain. These are non-steroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). Talk to your doctor about other drugs like acetaminophen (Tylenol) to
ease your pain.
