tea and lpr

im confused i just started drinking warm chamomile tea with a spoonful of honey. i just read that all tea even de-caf is bad. is this true. if so why i know caffeine lowers the les but decaf..confused

I drink a lot of tea, often three cups per day.  Several teas are thought to aid digestion, including chamomile, rooibos and licorice.  Those are the flavors I usually drink, but I also have green tea around.  Tea does bother some people, but I believe it is an individual matter.  Even the "safe for GERD" foods seem to bother a number of people.  So don't be afraid to experiment with tea.  I find it helpful for settling my stomach after a meal.  I no longer take a PPI, I eat well (Koufman diet), take Zantec, and have made many lifestyle changes.

Hi Joe,

Please remember that not all brands o chamomile are the same. For LPR, Dr. Koufman recommends twinings brand. As far as other teas not being ok for lpr, the ph content of tea is what really matters. Look up Dr. K's blog called "water water everywhere, but nothing left to drink."

Twinings is a brand of tea. To find this forum, just perform an internet search and type in "Water Water Everywhere, But Nothing Left to Drink."
