A member asked:
Can you get stomach pain after not eating for a while? if so, why? can you get ulcers from not eating regularly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acidity: Yes you can, when you don't eat the acid that is in your stomach continues to be present and can irritate your stomach. If this persists, eventually the protective layer that protects your stomach from irritation breaks down and can cause ulceration. Eat regularly and continue to follow up closely with your physician.
