Diclofenac can cause increase in acididty and gas production. It should be taken after meals.
You can take an antacid like Ranitidine 150 mg twice a day before meals along with Domperidone 10 mg. Antacid in liquid or gel form is also beneficial as it forms a protective layer over the damaged mucosa of the stomach.
You should also follow some precautions like :-
1. Avoid spicy/oily foods.
2. Donot miss a meals.
3. Avoid emotional/mental stress.
4. Avoid cigarette/alcohol, if any.
5. Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water in a day.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
