A member asked:

Can i drink green tea though my stomach is acidic?

Dr. Alvin Lin answered

Green tea: Your stomach (and mine & everyone else's) is supposed to be acidic. So drink green tea if you want. Base your decision on continuing to drink green tea upon whether or not you feel worse. But there's no empiric answer for everyone. Most tolerate green tea just fine.

Dr Baez and another doctor agreed
