man, I have acid reflux. I've had it for about 10 years. Never did steroids in my life (except a few weeks ago doctor prescribed for an illness).

My biological mom has it too and I've been told it can be hereditary.

Pacquiao is the greatest fighter of all time

good investigative thinking man. it all could be coincidence but its just another reason to ask why is he so adament about not taking accurate random blood testing and defending the commission that is a proven failure through not catching mosely and who knows who else. i do not understand that at all.

and my questions nobody answer, do you know if other fighter have these problems while having to make weight ? Is it common for professional fighter having special diet and having to loose / gain weight rapidly to have ulcer ? is it just hereditary

Being a alcohol drinker does not help neither. Manny supposedly just quit drinking alcoholic beverages. Word is he use to party and drink a good amount of alcohol back in the days before he promised to clean his act up.

didn't say, but in 2002 he was fighting at 135 pounds so he most definitely was cutting weight.

I don't know if there is a link between the two or not though.

From personal experience, I know some people just happen to get acid reflux and may be hereditary.

The question of acid reflux being a hereditary condition has not been researched
very often. However, specialists have concluded that genetically speaking the
chances of getting this disease by inheritance may account for 50% of the
sufferers. They have also concluded so far that the other 50% is due to diet.

Of all the digestive diseases in the world, acid reflux is considered to be the
most common. It is estimated that nearly 1 in 5 people suffer from acid being
regurgitated into the mouth and esophagus and/or heartburn. It is also known
that a regular cycle of acid reflux occurrences gives people a higher risk of
getting esophageal cancer.

You guys are seeing my questions like an attack to Pacquiao, which I didn't want it to be. My questions were totally ingenuous. You don't have to go on defensive mode. I was asking if he had these types of problems before 2006, if you think it was caused by diet ( do Ariza and Tom diets have something to do with it ), stress, lack of sleep, peds, etc.

and my questions nobody answer, do you know if other fighter have these problems while having to make weight ? Is it common for professional fighter having special diet and having to loose / gain weight rapidly to have ulcer ? is it just hereditary

don't take it too personally. i was merely pointing out logical flaws in your post, if that's being defensive... oh well...
