A member asked:

What to do 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

Caffeine=reflux: Yes. Caffeine, nicotine, chocolate (caffeine is present in chocolate), alcohol, and natural mints are all known to relax the barrier between your esophagus and stomach allowing for reflux of gastric contents into your esophagus. Be careful.
