there are different types of gastric problems. i have gastroenteritis. you can try these:

+ Avoid excess milk. If any of the following foods are increasing your symptoms or distress, decrease their consumption or avoid them altogether: caffeine (coffee, chocolate, colas, tea), fried or fatty food, alcohol and mint. Sometimes, symptoms may also be exacerbated by tomatoes, citrus fruit, other acidic food, and food that is highly spiced .

+ Avoid smoking; nicotine stimulates acid reflux in the esophagus.

+ Eat smaller meals, with occasional snacks if you must.

+ Avoid Aspirin and anti- inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen. If you need pain relief, try acetaminophen (Tylenol) instead.

+ Raise the head of your bed six inches or so by propping up the legs of the bed with blocks; this will reduce reflux problems while you sleep.

+ Avoid eating right before going to bed.

+ Avoid clothes that fit tightly around the waist or abdomen.

+ If you are overweight, try to lose a few pounds! Excess weight can put pressure on the stomach which increases the risk of reflux

i found this by browsing the net.. these are also similar to the ones my doctor told me.

the first method is tried and tested for me. eating citrus foods will make it worst.. :)

hope it helps!
