Hi,
Based on the history you have shared,your peptic ulcer disease is old and you should take H2 blocker or any Proton pump inhibitor off and on. The bleeding you have was probably the coagulopathy because of medicine you were taking. Yes, you can take Zantac or any easily available PPI for this issue plus avoid spicy and oily food.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
