I made sure i avoided spicy and acidic food (read also anything sweet. Sweet potato/yams is ok) st, even "well seasoned" stuff. Herbs and abit of salt were ok amd even beneficial. did moderate sports activities, but that hurt like hell. Walking 30 minutes a day should be enough. Keep hydrated, make sure the food is soft - avoid processed foods and fizzy drinks and coffee at al cost. Sugarless herbal tee is all i drank in the morning, two full cups. Drank small doeses of anti acids before bed. I did a gastroscopy a year after that and it had healed. Smoking can exacerbate the condition and i quit for the duration. Mind you i was young at the time. The body heals itsself you just have to get out of the way. Im sorry for your friend, i still remeber the pain. Walking felt like being contonuisly stabbed in the stomach every 3rd step. Edited with more info
