Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Supari use with or without tobacco lead to increase acid secretion and acid reflux, which can lead to barrettes esophagus/stomach ulcer formation and abdominal pain.
Chronic supari use can also lead to cancer formation in intestinal tract. It is better to get yourself examined for these conditions. Same time stop supari chewing.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
