The best diet to eat with a peptic ulcer is anything that doesn't worsen acid production in the stomach. Therefore, it is best to avoid caffeine, spicy foods, greasy foods, fatty foods and acidic foods (like citrus). Drink lots of water, exercise regularly and get at least 8-9 hours of sleep at night to help as well.
Avoid acid foods.
There is no specific diet for PUD. You can eat what is tolerated. The treatment of PUD is antiacid pills, eradication of H pylori, avoidance of NSAIDs, etc.
