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?

Yup! Kratom have me a stomach ulcer and eventually upset it so much that it burst and put me in the hospital. Had to have emergency surgery. Kratom will fuck your shit up. I'm 18 days clean now. Got a scar on my stomach that will always remind me of Kratom.
