Question on the Differentiation Re: Manny's Ailment

[The Big Dunn]

This site is saying Manny has a bad case of acid reflux. ESPN and other mainstream sports sites are reporting it as a mild ulcer. There is big difference between acid reflux and an ulder. Anyone know what the deal is?

Irritation of the stomach lining- Steroids can irritate the lining of the stomach and may cause a stomach ulcer, or make one worse.

Acid reflux can eventually lead to an ulcer if not taken care of.

Maybe. Is Alex Ariza your conditioning coach? He says Pacquiao doesn't even know what Pacquiao takes, so it's possible.

LOL can't believe people are really linking Pacquiao's ulcers to Pac's "roid use", as if Millions of people everyday don't have ulcers.

Then again, Pacquiao fans might turn Floyd having an ulcer into Ellerbe maybe having a little too much fun on a Saturday night
