ARE THERE ANY HELPFUL FOODS.....

My boyfriend was previously diagnosed with a bleeding stomach ulcer and never full took care of it.  He is pretty good when it comes to eating bland foods, and eating on a regular basis to avoid an empty stomach.  Every day he suffers from excessive gas, burping, and even bloody stools.  My question is, are there any foods that will help decrease these symptoms?  I heard that yogurt was good, if so is any yogurt good?  Any help on the subject is welcome....

thank you

You may want to try following a very stict GERD diet. You can find a representative example at gicare.com. Yogurt is diary, and dairy is typically a no-no for those with GERD - even low fat diary isn't all that good because dairy is acid-producing. If you're looking at the yogurt for the probiotic qualities, try a capsule form of probiotics.

Also make sure he's doesn't have H. pylori and if he does get him treated.

Bloody stools don't come from a bleeding ulcer. If he has bloody stools you need to find out the cause and seek treatment.
