Heard great things about green tea for Lyme. Those of you who drink it...what are the best brands!?!

I'm looking to ween myself off coffee and switch to antioxidant rich green tea

listening and caring. I wish I could make the switch. For some reason I can't get past the flavor of green tea.

I can't take green tea unfortunately, it provokes GERD. My stomach is supersensitive.

There are many varieties of green tea. You might want to get a sampler from a company and try a few to see what suites your taste buds.

My favorite is Matcha but boy does it give me a buzz.

I'll translate this for everyone. She means "The catechins in the green tea help my immune system kill more pathogens and the increased acids most likely increases aluminum release which causes reflux in my esophagus."

Tick41,

I can only drink Rishi green tea. I always hated green tea then realized I probably wasn't drinking the real thing. Most green tea is contaminated and not pure.

It always upset my stomach.

I love the Rishi. It is smooth, never hurts my stomach and makes me feel really good. It is good for Lyme.
