What is an open sore in the lining of the stomach or small intestine?

What does overeating do to the respiratory system?
It is my understanding that by engorging the stomach with food, it puts pressure under the lungs causing difficulty in taking a full deep breath. It can also cause the opening of the stomach to become open causing the acid from the stomach to regurgitate up into the esophagus. This acid can be regurgitated up into the esophagus causing heartburn. That acid can sometimes get into the lungs. Prolonged acid reflux can lead to esophageal cancer as the lining of the esophagus isn't able to handle the acid that the stomach produces. The stomach lining and esophagus lining are quiet different.

What causes ulcers?
A peptic ulcer is an area of damage to the inner lining of the stomach, esophagus, or duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). Over 25 million Americans will have a peptic ulcer at some point in their lifetime. People of all ages can suffer from ulcers. Men and women are equally affected.Peptic ulcers were formerly thought to be caused by stress, coffee consumption, or spicy foods. Now it is clear that about 60% of peptic ulcers are caused by a bacterial infection that can usually be cured. Another 20% are caused by nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Nuprin, etc.), and another 20% have miscellaneous causes such as cigarettes or no clear cause.The bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) was established as the leading cause of peptic ulcers in the early 1980s. It was also found to cause gastritis(inflammation of the stomach lining), and, in Asian populations, cancer of the stomach.
