Try drinking 2 cups of low acid coffee (Healthwise) brand. I use almond milk as a creamer because it's alkaline and will neutralize any acid left in it. See if that helps.

Chocolate and caffeine loosen the sphincter, so the acid comes up the esophagus. There are some good decaf coffees - even though they have a small amount of caffeine it's still better than the full caffeine, and you can trick your body to enjoying that. (for example: lavazza decaf, made with water method so no chemicals to make it decaf). So the issue is not just that it's acidic but it loosens the sphincter. Try other things for the pain (medical marijuana? physiotherapy recommended exercises?)

I recommend ROMMA coffee from Amazon, no caffeine, vegan and it’s made with barley. Tastes just like regular coffee

Lifeboost is a low acid coffee I drink for GERD. I also drink Ryze. It’s a mushroom coffee with half the caffeine, has a chocolate taste, plus healthy for you due to the adaptogens from the mushrooms. I no longer experience GERD.
Hope this is helpful. Best to you. It’s a journey to find what works.

My GI doctor warned me that low acid coffee still has caffeine, which is a no-no for acid reflux. I've tried Cavix, but nothing really replaces good coffee.

Lifeboost Coffee also comes in decaf. Caffeine didn’t affect me.

Hi Fellow GERD sufferers
I found a book at the library you may be interested in reading. “Dropping Acid, The Reflux Diet Cookbook & Cure” by Jamie Koufman, MD & Jordan Stern, M.D.

You can purchase Lifeboost at lifeboostcoffee.com. I recently also saw it on Amazon.

I'm totally addicted to caffeine. I can't imagine life without it.
