Hello
Stomach ulcer or we call it peptic ulcer is breach in lining inside of stomach.
It can be mainly because of 2 major reasons

2 Excessive use of painkillers or NSAIds
So I will advise you for him :-
Avoid chilly and spicy food
quit alcohol and smoke
completely stop painkillers or NSAIDs
Add probiotics like yogurt to diet
Eat balanced and healthy diet
exercise regularly atleast for 30 min
take enough sleep
