FAQ on green teaFAQ #1: Would drinking green tea 2-4 cups a day be part of the aggravation i have with acid reflux. If I have to give this up o god i wont like that. I love drinking green tea. Thanks. ANSWER: Since I do not know your medical history and I don't want to pretend to be a doctor, I can only give you a general advice. There could be a variety of reasons that can trigger your situation. First of all, it is quite difficult to determine if green tea is what's causing you the problem. You need to consider the kind of green tea you are taking. You need to make sure you are only using pure, high quality green tea and not flavored, high fructose corn syrup green tea. Secondly, try to eliminate spicy foods first, and other foods that can trigger acid reflux. Green tea, on the other hand, has beneficial effects on the digestive process such as improved digestion, decreased risk of ulcers, and assistance in maintaining a heallthy weight. Green tea actually protects the digestive tract from carcinogens that could otherwise harm the stomach, intestine, or colon. Please consult your doctor for medical advice.
Hope this helps.
