Can A Heartburn Patient Enjoy A Cup of Coffee
Coffee has been almost everyone’s antidote. You can find many coffee products ranging from caffeinated lip balm to the world’s great java-related destinations are covered. But if you are living with acid reflux disease should coffee really be the drink of choice?
Lately, researchers at Standford University looked at all the research publication from 1975 to 2004 to find out more about how lifestyle modifications can help heartburn acid reflux patients. Their research includes the findings on the impact of coffee, chocolate, alcohol, obesity, and bed elevation on acid reflux symptoms. In fact, they found that the only lifestyle changes that made a difference for GERD symptoms were weight loss and head of bed elevation. There is no evidence to prove that the acid reflux symptoms got worse after the cessation of tobacco, alcohol or coffee.
In 1999, a study was carried out to look specifically at the effect of coffee on GERD patients. A small sample of 15 people with one group of eight persons having acid reflux disease and one group of seven persons without acid reflux disease. Each group was been alternated between drinking warm water and coffee and then measure the acid reflux of each person in the group. As the result, the researches found that drinking coffee had no significant effect on acid reflux in any individual of the two groups.
Interestingly, many individuals reported coffee makes their heartburn acid reflux symptoms worse despite the research studies show that coffee had no impact on those who were suffering from acid reflux disease.I guess that the point the anecdotal information and the research information support is that individuals vary in their reaction to certain foods and beverages.
Conclusively, if you have heartburn acid reflux disease, your reaction to coffee or any other beverage will be very individualized. Now, you know that if someone tells you that coffee will definitely make feel worse, you know that is not necessarily true.
However, the research to date on the topic is still early stage and so when it comes to coffee and acid reflux you need to determine what works best for you.
