What Water Is Safe to Drink with Acid Reflux?

Acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is an uncomfortable and sometimes painful condition in which stomach acid is forced back up from the stomach into the esophagus. If you suffer from acid reflux, it's important to pay attention to the types of beverages you consume, as some can worsen symptoms.

Alkaline Water

Alkaline water has a higher pH level than regular drinking water. It's thought that this increased alkalinity can help neutralize stomach acidity and relieve symptoms of acid reflux. Studies have found that alkaline water with a pH of 8.8 can deactivate pepsin, an enzyme that plays a role in acid reflux. Additionally, alkaline water can help neutralize the acid in your stomach.

Herbal Teas

Herbal teas may help soothe the digestive tract and relieve symptoms of acid reflux. Chamomile tea, in particular, is known for its anti-inflammatory and calming effects. You can also try ginger tea, fennel tea, and peppermint tea. These teas are generally safe but may cause some side effects or interact with certain medications. Talk to your doctor before increasing your intake of herbal teas.

Kombucha

Kombucha is a fermented tea that contains beneficial bacteria and yeast. It's also low in sugar and may help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, which can help reduce symptoms of acid reflux. However, it's important to note that kombucha can also contain large amounts of caffeine, which can worsen acid reflux symptoms.

Chilled Milk

Cold milk may help reduce the intensity of acid reflux symptoms. Cold milk can help coat the lining of the esophagus and lower the feeling of burning. However, cold milk may not be the best choice if you're lactose intolerant, as it can worsen symptoms.

Coconut Water

Coconut water is a natural acid neutralizer. It supports digestion and may help with the digestion of other foods. Coconut water is also an excellent source of electrolytes, which can help regulate digestive processes.

Almond Milk

Almond milk is low in fat and acidity, making it a good choice for people with acid reflux. It's also rich in vitamins and minerals, which can help reduce inflammation in the digestive system.

When it comes to beverages that are safe to drink with acid reflux, everyone is different. It's important to pay attention to the foods and drinks that worsen your symptoms and avoid them. Talk to your doctor or dietitian if you need help creating a GERD-friendly diet.

It is generally recommended that individuals with acid reflux avoid drinking water with meals or shortly after eating. Instead, it is best to drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated. Water should not be too cold or too hot, and should be filtered or purified for best results. Additionally, it is important to avoid carbonated and acidic drinks such as soda, citrus juices, and coffee. Herbal teas such as chamomile and ginger are good options for individuals with acid reflux. Avoiding carbonated and acidic drinks and drinking a moderate amount of filtered or purified water throughout the day can help reduce acid reflux symptoms.

Acid reflux is a condition in which stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus. If you suffer from acid reflux, it is important to avoid acidic beverages like orange juice, coffee, and soda. Instead, you should focus on drinking water that is either alkaline or free from acid. This includes bottled or filtered water, coconut water, and herbal teas. You should also try to avoid carbonated beverages. Additionally, it is important to monitor your diet and watch out for trigger foods like fried foods, garlic, and spicy foods.
