I did this, though not because of GERD, interestingly. A coffee roaster here in Houston won a coffee competition on a decaf, and it tasted so good, I quit caffeine the day I tried it (last year). I still get flare-ups that can be managed with H2 supplements (like Gaviscon), which are much safer than the PPIs I take every other day. The biggest advantage of switching to decaf is that caffeine works as intended the few times I use it. I have trouble staying awake on long drives; having a cup of coffee or a light energy drink, like Celsius, fixes that now.
