Gastritis

I recently had an endoscopy done with some biopsies of my stomach.  The biopsies came back, comfirming that I have gastritis.  I am losing a little blood in my stomach, which is most likely the reason for the chronic iron deficiency.  On Lansoprazole and prescription iron pills for all of that.

I am very careful with taking OTC pain killers.  DR said I could continue the ibuprofen though, just not a lot. 

Are there any foods that could possibly be a part of the problem?  I am on a lot of prescription medication which could factor in with it all, but I don't think it is completely responsible for the gastritis.

Thanks GreenFish :)  I just googled it and found other sites too.  Don't know why I hadn't thought of doing that in the first place!
