Most of the time when a medication is to be taken with food, is because the medication itself stimulates the secretion of stomach acid. If you are making stomach acid but have nothing in your stomach to digest, you get gastritis and reflux. In bad cases it leads to stomach ulcers. Any food is generally fine, just something for that acid to digest.
