For another anecdote, I have been drinking black coffee, and only black coffee, for the first four to six hours of the day. Sometimes water as well.

I have done this for about six years without damaging my digestion in any detectable way. I would bet money your friend has or had a Helicobacter pylori infection; treatment is antibiotics.

I tried the same for for about 6 months but had to stop because of stomach ache. I'm not infected with helicobacter pylori.

Sure, people differ greatly in acid sensitivity and other factors that make no one diet right for everyone.

The stomach ache went away when you quit? If not... are you sure you don't have helicobacter pylori?

Yes it went away and yes I was tested multiple times for helicobacter pylori.
