- lagichikool 2y agoCertainly is a problem for me and I've seen others say the same. Every doctor I've been to has mentioned it as an issue. "Caffeine — a major component of many varieties of coffee and tea — has been identified as a possible trigger for heartburn in some people. Caffeine may trigger GERD symptoms because it can relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)." https://www.healthline.com/health/gerd/coffee-tea https://www.healthline.com/health/gerd/coffee-tea
- carlmr 2y agoI get really bad GERD from coffee and black tea, a bit less from green tea. I don't get GERD from Mate tea or energy drinks. So I think it's not the caffeine. Since they both contain high amounts of caffeine, even higher than black tea. I've noticed that if I eat more fiber I can somewhat mitigate this. But it needs to be consistent. Not just a little extra fiber before coffee. BTW a high-fiber diet can be a natural ozempic by raising GLP-1 levels.
