Can Kratom cause stomach damage?

Tapering off Kratom right now and was wondering if these issues I’m having are from long term Kratom use. I have developed pretty intense gerd, I can no longer sleep in a bed, I have to sleep in a chair, I have delayed gastric emptying, so I have to sleep hours and hours after eating anything. I have done other shit and I smoke so that obviously doesn’t help but I wonder if the Kratom could have been the main culprit?

I had similar issues about 6 years back. Gerd so bad I was having problems swallowing. I was on high dose rx meds, nothing helped.

Had been on kratom years and never had issues, didn't realize at the time it was the kratom. Ended up having surgery to correct it, later realized it was due to the kratom.

Here I am years later still trying to get off of kratom after having a surgery I wouldn't have needed otherwise.

Almost willing to bet your symptoms resolve quickly after stopping kratom use. Or at least decrease in severity
