>itll tear a hole in your stomach. Ive made that mistake once a decade ago.

I know somone suffering from this mistake right now. Did this resolve on its own for you?

I made sure i avoided spicy and acidic food (read also anything sweet. Sweet potato/yams is ok) st, even "well seasoned" stuff. Herbs and abit of salt were ok amd even beneficial. did moderate sports activities, but that hurt like hell. Walking 30 minutes a day should be enough. Keep hydrated, make sure the food is soft - avoid processed foods and fizzy drinks and coffee at al cost. Sugarless herbal tee is all i drank in the morning, two full cups.

Drank small doeses of anti acids before bed.

I did a gastroscopy a year after that and it had healed.

Smoking can exacerbate the condition and i quit for the duration.

Mind you i was young at the time. The body heals itsself you just have to get out of the way.

Im sorry for your friend, i still remeber the pain. Walking felt like being contonuisly stabbed in the stomach every 3rd step.

Edited with more info

thank you. passed this info on.

The comment below me is also very helpful - joghurt is really good for it. Esp goat joghurt, but its taste is not too good

I remember reading something about dental hygine too. Acidic mouth -> bacteria -> somehow effects the stomach too as we swallow our salyva
