I have been dealing with a terrible gastritis flare-up for about a week now. My PCP has me trying Aciphex, instead of Omeprazole, and taking Carafate to coat my stomach. Typically he instructs me to stick to a somewhat bland diet, which for me is usually toast, rice, cereal, mashed potatoes, etc. I am just curious, though, what no starch foods would be considered bland enough? I had grapes this morning and it caused me great pain. I am thinking that right now, pretty much all fruit is going to be too acidic for my stomach to handle. I am holding off on the Naproxen to let my stomach heal.
