Ulcers 101
I realize you aren't a doctor but have a background in medical sciences. I'm bipolar and on lithium, Seroquel and lamictal. I've been stable for 5 years now. The problem is I have an ulcer or ulcers which I've been diagnosed with.
It's been a bitch (pardon me) with eating as some foods make me nauseated after eating some of the time and then not affect at other times or come back to haunt me hours later or days after. They have me on antacids but only when vomiting arises which I never have warning of.
I'll be blunt I hate rabbit food and find salads, vegetables etc. to be rabbit food on their own. I have a love for stuff I shouldn't eat but is there a way of eating things that taste great but don't cause me trouble without playing russian roulette to find out? Also, it really affects dining out.
To quote comedian John Pinette "They told me I could eat all the salad I wanted (in restaurants). Salad is not food. It comes with the food or before the food as an unspoken promise that food will soon arrive."

I can see how that would be a problem when
dining out. You should ask advice from your
doctor. Even calling and asking his nurse
might be a help.
Stay away from iffy foods or you might also
try drinking a glass of milk BEFORE you eat anything. Perhaps coating your stomach with something will help. Follow the meal with
your antacids.
Hope that helps some. Consult your doctor.
