Foods to have with Peptic?

Hi Guys,
Many years ago my doctor said I had a small peptic ulcer. Lately, I've been getting pain on and off right in the middle of my stomach right next to the rib cage. The pain can last up to 5 minutes and after I burp the pain goes away. It's very strange. Could this be the peptic ulcer acting up?? It's very painful when the pain comes. If I had this pain longer than an hour I think I'd run to the ER. I'm glad it's only 5 minutes or less until I burp. I'm waiting to go to the doctor hoping this will end eventually. I'm taking a couple tums during the day. What foods do you suggest I avoid until this is over?? Do you suggest any food that are good for the peptic ulcer? Someone at work told me to drink Ginger Ale or Pepsi when the pain starts. Is this a good idea? Thank you for any info you may have. Laura/NJ
