Proton pump inhibitors (such as esomeprazole) may increase your risk for bone fractures, especially with longer use, higher doses, and in older adults. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about ways to prevent bone loss/fracture, such as by taking calcium (such as calcium citrate) and vitamin D supplements.
Fruits and Vegetables. If you have ulcers, eat fruits that are low in acid, such as apples, peaches, pears, grapes, kiwifruit, bananas, berries and melons. Avoid all citrus, as high-acid oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, lemons and limes may increase stomach acids. Consume vegetables that do not cause you pain, discomfort or excess gas.
High Soluble-fiber Foods. Eating a diet high in soluble fiber might help prevent gastric ulcers. A Harvard School of Public Health article published in the 1997 American Journal of Epidemiology reported that men with the highest soluble fiber intake reduced their risk of developing an ulcer by 60 percent.
