GERD from Green Tea

[Sparkle2012]

Anyone experience heartburn from drinking green tea and decaf tea? It's odd because I drink coffee in the a.m. no issues --- but tea in the afternoon seems to cause issues at night. Nothing major, just curious.

I start each day with a cup of green tea - no heartburn here.

Unless I am using organic tea (of any sort) I always "wash" the tea - pour boiling water over it and pour straight off - because there are a lot of pesticides and herbicides used in growing tea.

Hey - great advice!! Thank you.

Caffeinated tea might cause GERD but can't see why caffeine free tea should be an issue. Only tea with mint might exacerbate.

@Sparkle2012..you are not alone..lol..I gave up green tea because of this GERD that I experienced after every cup of it.

Thanks Sid. Our bodies are all so different in the way we process food and disease!
