A member asked:

What do you suggest if i'm fond of taking tea. these days i m suffering from heart burn. is it due to tea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GE reflux: Generally, "heartburn" refers to the pain associated with gastroesophageal reflux, where the contents of the stomach pass "backwards" into the esophagus. The pain is due to damage to the lower esophagus from the high acid content of the stomach contents. If the tea that you are drinking contains caffeine, then yes, tea may be making your symptoms worse as caffeine increases gastric acidity.
