What brand of decaf ginger tea do you enjoy the most for stomach acid?
I have moderate GERD. I am using omeprazole 40mg 2x day, but I need more help with acid coming up my throat after I eat. The sour taste in the back of my tongue is very bothersome. I read that decaf ginger tea may help. What brand do you recommend? Does it help with stomach acid?

I've heard of ginger tea and other preparations of ginger for nausea; I don't know anything about stomach acid. I did see this online, though:

You can make a ginger 'tea' just by stirring a small amount of powdered ginger, like what you use for cooking, into water and heating or chilling it as you like. You can boil a piece of fresh ginger in water, too. Or let slices of fresh ginger sit in a jar of water in the fridge for a couple of days. There is a store near me that sells candied ginger, too. I have a neighbor who eats a very thin slice of fresh raw ginger every day. He says it helps settle his stomach.
Ginger doesn't have any caffeine in it, so the only reason a ginger tea would be caffeinated is if another ingredient in the tea had caffeine in it.
Hi Pinksky4u,
I'm sorry to hear about your Gerd and your problems with it. That's terrible! I drink Stash tea from Oregon. I just love it and have drank it for many years. My favorite is orange spice. They do have a lot of ginger tea blends. Their website is Stashtea.com. This tea is very natural. They have a lot of different varieties. I hope this helps.

Treating your GERD is highly important. What’s causing it? Besides ginger which is good, dietary changes are critical. But again what is “causing” your GERD? That info is critical to treating it.
Best to you!
The cause of my GERD is unknown. I am trying a bland diet, but I still have GERD after any food. The ginger tea seems to help very little, but some.
actually for me, ginger seems to make things worse, it's too...not sure what; but it seems to aggravate my tummy, too strong...
@pinksky4u These may help, you will just have to try for yourself. Two are decaf and one is not. I drink these all during the day. I am not really a coffee drinker. My Dad and Mom always drank tea, so not much coffee around our house growing up. Now with Gerd, I stick with my tea. Below are the three teas I drink most of the time.
Steep by Bigelow organic lemon ginger caffeine-free herbal tea
Yogi Stomach Ease supports healthy digestion through caffeine-free organic herbal supplement
Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon spice black tea
I do not steep these as long as suggested. You will have to adjust to taste.
These work for me. I hope this helps you. Take care KLH
Try Throat Coat tea. Also from Amazon Gaviscon Advanced. Also trying bland diet to heal esophagus.
Good luck
Try Gin-gins or Chimes ginger chews through the day! It's got sugar tho, but helps in a pinch.
Yogi Stomach Ease is my long time morning tea. It really seems to help. I call it my ‘I’m Sorry’ tea because I will have a cup of coffee- then the Stomach Ease to make up for it.
Steep by Bigelow is an organic lemon ginger caffeine-free herbal tea. I order from Amazon. Thanks for your reply. I hope it helps and you like it.
