• Follow a bland diet religiously.
  • Eat food in small portions. This will make the digestion simpler. Eating three heavy, full meals will put an unnecessary strain on the already sore stomach. So, divide them into six smaller meals.
  • Do not starve or miss meals. This will aggravate the condition. If there is no food in your stomach for the gastric juices to work on, they will continue to eat up the lining of your stomach.
  • Relax before and after each meal.
  • Avoid spicy and fried food. They hamper the healing process.
  • Avoid citric fruits and juices, as they increase acidity.
  • Avoid caffeine, along with chocolate, cola and alcohol.
