Green/black tea: Greetings. Green/black tea have healthy attributes that are good for most diets. In excess, they might cause or add to the reflux. A low acid diet is very important to eliminate. Reflux. See your doctor if these suggestions fail to resolve the reflux. Good Luck.

Caffeine: Tea does contain caffeine and that amount of tea can cause acid reflux. Switch to decaffeinated tea to see if symptoms resolve. Prilosec type medications are effective for symptoms of gerd. Other contributing factors to gerd include tobacco,spicey and oily foods and alcohol.
