Firstly do not rush into stopping the lansoprazole. If you have gastritis, it's caused by excess stomach acid. Lansoprazole reduces that. If you think your costipation may be caused by the lansoprazole, discuss it with your doctor and try a diffrenet PPI (omeprazole or pantoprazole). Gaviscon is good as a back up. (There's no advantage in using the Advance version though and generic heartburn liquids are available.)
The various diets are fads which research has failed to endorse. And there are many misconceptions and myths about what you should or shouldn't eat - particularly involving wine, spicy foods and coffee. You only need to stop these if you have discovered they are trigger foods particular to you.
