Can decaffeinated coffee produce GERD?
In coffee, the acid (not the caffeine) causes acid reflux and GERD. According to this site: http://www.teeccino.com/consumerdecaf.aspx, decaf coffee is generally made from more acidic beans than regular coffee. Fortunately, many places (such as that website) sell reduced acid coffee for people suffering from digestive disorders. Sources: http://www.teeccino.com/consumerdecaf.
