GERD ; Caffeine: Yes. Of course. Caffeine is one of the products that causes the esophageal sphincter to be loose or more open allowing more acid to wash up into the esophagus.

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?
