My gastric reflux is definitely worse when I'm stressed and breaks through my meds (usually at about 4 in the morning!)
When hard pressed by the GF and nothing else is working I resort to porridge/oatmeal - very soothing.
Ulcers are not the same as GERD. Most ulcers are caused by bacteria. Stress can worsen symptoms, but it's not the cause of the disease.
