I am about to start 100mg of doxycycline. should i take food with this medicine? i took it years ago and believe it has intense effects on the stomach

Doxycycline: Doxycycline may be taken with or without food but it is VERY important to take with plenty of water (don't swallow with some spit). If it gets stuck half way down it can cause burns to the esophagus.
