Question 1

is gerd caused by low stomach acid or high stomach acid? i don't eat spicy/fried foods, no caffeine/nicotine, no cold drinks but still i'm suffering from 2 months with gerd. someone said les not close with low stomach acid and leads to gerd. guide me?

Accepted Answer

: GERD is triggered when ANY STOMACH ACID is pushed back into the swallow tube by the normal squeezing/mixing action of the stomach. The lower the acid value the less likely it will irritate when it backwashes. The LES is a fold in the tube, not a valve. Its weakness can be a normal variant or aggravated by some foods &amp; chemicals like caffeine &amp; nicotine which keep it loose.

Question 2

i have acid reflux and i found a herbal hibiscus caffeine free mango tea made by lipton(unsweetened) also extra no sugar added. can i try that? i'm getting tired of drinking water. thanks?

Accepted Answer

: Only by trying can you tell. Go to uptodate.com and read about GERD.  I recommend all with this put 4 or 8 inch blocks under the head feet of your bed. Gravity never sleeps. And if your BMI is greater than 25 getting it lower may help as well. Again gravity never sleep and fat pushing on your belly when you sleep can aggravate gastric reflux. Keep reflux diary.  Discuss with Dr.

Less sugar: It depends on what you want.  Regular coke has sugar and caffeine.  Diet caffeine free coke has no calories or caffeine.  If you drink coke at night, go with caffeine free, so as not to interfere with your sleep.

Question 5

is caffeine bad for you if combined with good nutrition and sleep habits?

Accepted Answer

No: The literature on caffeine is tremendous and if it was actually causing problems beyond headaches (if you reduce your dose) and sleeplessness (if you overdo), we'd have found it. There is a mild withdrawal syndrome but since no one has trouble quitting, it seems stupid to call this an "addiction". Folks who work long hours may need caffeine; i know no doctor-in-training who did not use it.

Diet coke: Diet coke has no calories, so it is less fattening than regular coke.
