While it’s bad to drink citrus and pineapple juices with ulcers, other fruit juices are OK as long as they are less acidic. A few good options include; aloe, carrot, avocado, spinach, watermelon, or pear juices.

The same goes for smoothies. Look for low-acid fruits, and combine with nutrient-dense vegetables such as kale, wheatgrass, and spinach. Also, add sugar as low as possible. Although sugar doesn’t aggravate ulcer symptoms, too much sugar consumption may cause upset stomach.

The pH of water is 7, neutral. It is one of the best ways to maintain the pH balance of your body, including stomach. Drinking water is the simplest way to help dilute your stomach acid.

So always drink enough water every day! Even drinking at least 1/2 gallon (about 8 cups) of water daily is important when your stomach ulcer flares up.

The way you drink your beverages matters, too. Even though what you drink is Ok with stomach ulcer, it might become counterproductive and cause negative reaction if you drink it in inappropriate ways. Here are a few tips:

2. Never drinking or eating late at night!
3. Don’t drink an extreme amount or too fast!
4. Keep hydrated, drink enough water throughout the day!

However, not all beverages affect everyone the same way — there is no single formula for everyone! Still, you may need to learn which ones that really have an effect on your stomach ulcer symptoms.
