“What is the best diet when you have an ulcer?”
I have a stomach ulcer and want to have a healthy diet. What is the best diet when you have an ulcer?

You need to have a physician provide you with medical therapy to heal your ulcer. You also need to know if you have an infection with H pylori and if so you need to be treated. Those are much more significant than any dietary changes.
This is debatable but is outside my realm of nuclear medicine. Typically a bland diet is recommended. Sucralfate is sometimes given to coat the stomach.
Diet and ulcer are not related. Foods do not cause or exacerbate ulcers. A healthy diet is one that protects your heart (avoids coronary artery disease) and avoids hypertension and diabetes.
