Huh? You should know that a stomach ulcer is the result of hyperacidity, which is caused by an increase in the hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This strong acid, secreted by the cells lining of the stomach, erodes the inner lining of the stomach.
Dietetic indiscretion such as overeating, taking of heavy meals or highly spiced foods, coffee, alcohol and smoking are the main factors contributing to this condition. Other causes are the ingestion of certain drugs, food poisoning, certain infections, gout, emotional disturbances,
stress, and nervous tension.
Note that stress and nervous tension (which you
seem to be accusing me of) is not only a secondary cause, but it's last on the list.
Besides, if an ulcer is punishment for taking legal action against a wrongful activity, then I say -- bring it on. People don't deserve to be ripped off, and our legal system is set up to help redress wrongs. The only way to make it work, is to use it when it becomes necessary.
