Hi, thank you for posting at Health Care Magic.

Taking Advil for many years, causes ulcer. Except the diet, avoid spicy foods, coffee, milk.
You should take esomeprazole(nexium) 40mg tablet, 1 time a day in the morning 1 hour before you eat(on an empty stomach) for 8 weeks.

I wish a fast recover.
