CAN I DRINK GINGER ALE IF I HAVE A PEPTIC ULCER? A REVIEW BY NUTRITION PROFESSIONALS
Expert opinion from Stephanie Small

A standard recommendation for peptic ulcers is to avoid coffee, chocolate, spicy food, alcohol, tomatoes, citrus, and caffeine with a peptic ulcer. Ginger ale does not fall into those categories (if caffeine free). If consuming ginger ale causes no additional pain, drinking should be okay.

Yes, you can as it will help to buffer the ulcer from stomach acids. In contrast, having an empty stomach can worsen symptoms since the stomach will keep churning out acids especially if there is no food in it.
